From the superficial, inaccurate representation of transgender people as psychopaths in the 1960s to the most recent portrayal of a transgender girl dreaming of becoming a professional ballerina in the Golden Globe-nominated Girl, cinema has come a long way in addressing transgender issues. Locally, transgender movies have slowly made their way to the mainstream. One of these is A Woman is A Woman, for which the EOC helped fund script development. Directed by Maisy Goosy SUEN and produced by transgender activist Mimi WONG, the film portrays two transwomen and their courageous struggle for self-actualisation. Following earlier screenings in November 2018, the movie is making a comeback to local theatres on 18 and 19 January 2019, and has been selected for the Hong Kong Independent Film Festival 2019 for screening on 20 January 2019 at the Louis Koo Cinema, Hong Kong Arts Centre.
