Olivia Coleman on relationship with trans community: 'I've learned a lot'
"I suppose I am on the outside. I have a heterosexual relationship. But then in the world I live in, I'm with queer community a lot,"
"For all those naysayers or haters or meanies, if [only] they could spend the time with the most welcoming, kind bunch of people. I kind of want everyone to just come and say hi and actually feel total love."
"I think it's a community that I love being welcomed into. I find the most loving and the most beautiful stories are from that community. And I feel really honoured to be welcomed. Throughout my whole life, I've had arguments with people where I've always felt sort of non-binary,"
Jimpa follows Hannah, a mother who takes her non-binary child to visit her gay father in Amsterdam and explores intergenerational queer experience. Sophie Hyde directed and based the film on real-life experience and cast her trans non-binary child, Aud Mason-Hyde, as Frances. Olivia Colman plays Hannah, a character positioned on the periphery of queerness through family relationships. Colman experiences the queer community as welcoming and kind and connects with its stories. The film moves between historical trauma such as the AIDS epidemic and contemporary shifts in language and understanding around gender identity.
