Red Without Blue

Director: Brooke Sebold, Benita Sills & Todd Sills

US 2006| 77 mins


Winner of the audience award for documentary at the 2007 Slamdance Film Festival, Red without Blue is a fascinating and powerfully moving look at the changing relationship between two identical gay twin brothers after one decides to become a female. An honest portrayal of a family in turmoil captured over a period of three years, the film documents the twins and their parents, examining the Farleys’ struggle to redefine their family. Through its portrayal of these articulate and independent twins, each haunted by the painful experiences of their adolescence, the film questions normative standards of gender and identity – as Mark and Clair reassert their indescribable bond as identical twins.
