Alterations
Director: Dana J. Atrach
Year: 2026
After being away from home and estranged from his family for three years, a Palestinian transgender man returns for the first time to attend his father’s funeral. But, when he arrives, he’s met with a cold reception, making him wonder if he can face his past, make peace with his family, and find his own closure with his father. Blending comedy and drama, Alterations reveals moments of humour, tenderness, and quiet resistance. It explores how identity is negotiated within family structures, and how transformation - like grief - is both deeply personal and universally human.
