Awards/Scholarships

Jascha Hannover is a director and creative producer for documentary films based in Cologne and Berlin.

The documentary follows seven trans people on their way to finding themselves. It shows how varied the paths can be and the kinds of hurdles that lie along the way. TRANS – I GOT LIFE is a journey into the in-between realms beyond rigid gender norms, into intimate living spaces, and into the operating room, which becomes a delivery room for a second birth.
