GEN_

Dr. Maurizio Bini is a healthcare provider in Milan, Italy, whose congenial demeanor stands in contrast to the heated rhetoric often used to discuss his clinic’s specialties: in vitro fertilization and gender-affirming care. Through a cinema vérité approach, documentary filmmaker Gianluca Matarrese follows the day-to-day proceedings of Bini’s clinic as he counsels hopeful parents, anxious teens and confident adults alike about their individual needs with clear-eyed honesty. With only minor glimpses of Bini’s life outside of work, the focus of the portrait comes into view: This is a man defined by his compassion and empathy for others, who simply believes that everyone has the right to healthcare that improves their quality of life. At a time where personal autonomy is discussed in the political abstract, GEN_ is an up-close reminder that real people are affected by these issues, and they deserve to be treated with the same care and respect afforded to those with any other medical needs. –Eli Prysant
