How does a 32-year-old lesbian become a man? Phallocy is an autobiographical film using spoken word, music and experimental techniques to explore the struggles of a female-to-male transsexual. The double-exposed, sepia-toned footage and sharp editing create the mood for the filmmaker’s confrontation with living as female-bodied man.
