Together, they reflect on what it means to be trans and portray Karla\u2019s experiences with confidence and humour. They all contribute to creating a likeable microcosm \u2013 including Oliver, Karla&#8217;s chosen brother, an anime fan and film lover. Oliver accompanies Karla on many of her adventures, and their friendship radiates a playful energy.<br \/>\nThe film unfolds along two narrative strands. Firstly, it accompanies Karla in documentary form and presents her everyday life and her TikTok videos as expressions of her queer identity. Secondly, a voiceover runs through the film in which Karla articulates her thoughts, shifting between times and levels, and repeatedly renegotiates her memories.<br \/>\nLapuerta had grown tired of being asked by cis filmmakers to appear in documentaries about the trans experience and so decided to take charge of the narrative herself. <strong>NI\u00d1XS<\/strong>\u00a0grew out of the friendship and creative collaboration between Kani and Karla and is an exciting example of queer filmmaking in its narration and form.<\/p>\n<p>Rated 12+<\/p>\n<p>In cooperation with <em>Arcus Stiftung<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Awards for \u00bbNi\u00f1xs\u00ab<\/strong><br \/>\nIDFA Forum Award for Best Pitch \u2013 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":47016,"template":"","movie_year":[806],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[872,881],"festival":[886],"class_list":["post-46389","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-806","movie_genre-documentary-en","movie_cat-desired-film-lust-and-queer-en-2026","movie_cat-audience-award-en-2026","festival-886"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ni\u00f1xs - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/ninxs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ni\u00f1xs - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Filmmaker and transfeminist activist Kani Lapuerta accompanied Karla, now 15, over a period of eight years as she grew up [...]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/ninxs\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IFFF.Dortmund.Koeln\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-04-10T17:07:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IFFF2026_Ninxs_16-9_website_01.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"608\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@frauenfilmfest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/ninxs\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/ninxs\\\/\",\"name\":\"Ni\u00f1xs - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/ninxs\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/ninxs\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/IFFF2026_Ninxs_16-9_website_01.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-03-30T09:49:38+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-04-10T17:07:24+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/ninxs\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/ninxs\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/ninxs\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/IFFF2026_Ninxs_16-9_website_01.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/IFFF2026_Ninxs_16-9_website_01.jpg\",\"width\":1080,\"height\":608,\"caption\":\"Two people are lying on their backs on a bed, looking up.
