In Cinema Fouad (1993) by Mohamed Soueid, a Syrian trans woman who lives in Beirut is questioned by the filmmaker, while dancing, eating and putting make-up on. In face of some of the more brash questions, she reacts with directness and finds space to muse about her life, the movies, her goal to undergo gender-affirming surgery, her Palestinian lover and her dreams.

Please note that the only screening copy of this film that we could find is in relatively low quality.
