"Audrey Superhero," an experimental documentary, explores the shifting terrain of gender identity. The film includes vividly charged discussions with Audrey, who insists she is Superman. Playful and arresting, Audrey de-cloaks from Clark Kent to Superman, revealing her "secret identity" as a boy. She does push-ups, practices flying, vehemently declares "I wanted to be a boy when I got borned," and imagines "saving the police from the bad guy." In a paradoxical twist, reality parades as fantasy, and Audrey's compelling narrative draws us into her world in which we can be anything we imagine. "Audrey Superhero" is filmed in high-definition video against a black background, including close up details of her facial expressions, her hands, gestures and her outfits. These scenes are combined with views of her obsessive role-playing during her daily life out in the "real" world. The narrative built through Audrey's collaboration with her mother is compelling because of her youthful honesty and her un-self-conscious willingness to reveal her inner emotional state. She is open as only a six year old could be. Written by Anonymous See less
