“This world is not for us, sister. – This world is not for me either. But I simply know who I am, what I want, and what I deserve.”

The article examines Fantasy (2025) from the perspective of the transgender gaze/look and, in connection with it, the establishment of the fluidity of identity as something shifting, transitional, and unstable. The first part draws on the concepts of the male and the female gaze and reflects on the characteristics and possibilities of the transgender or feminist gaze – as a gaze that subverts heteronormativity and the binary of the subject-object relationship in the context of the cinematic gaze. The second part attempts to think about the transgender gaze in Fantasy, both substantively and socially, as well as through cinematic form, focusing specifically on the indeterminacy or fluidity of cinematic time and space in the discussed film.
