Acting
At a film festival, a filmmaker tries to figure out what the jury is looking for in order to win the award. But the fear of failure threatens to ruin more than just his career, while the search for recognition throws his own desires into crisis.
A Californian backpacker travels to Buenos Aires to pay homage to the Argentine pirate who conquered his hometown of Monterey in 1818. Along the way, he becomes entangled in a polyamorous relationship with a gang of young actors who plot to kidnap the U.S. Ambassador.
An autofiction about Tencha de Sagastizabal: psychoanalyst, estate of Carmelo Arden Quin, actress, and fat woman. A queer fairy tale that is linked in the documentary. What happens when hegemony does not reign on the screen? Tencha Reina canonizes other ways of seeing the world and questions the supremacy of subtlety.
A doctor becomes obsessed with a patient’s sleep disorder and blurs the lines between observer and observed, until dream and reality become indistinguishable.
Bel Gatti can’t have sex, so her therapist suggests she make a film about it, turning her supposed external trauma into a boomerang. We witness the daily narration of her life, with her babysitting job, visits to her mother and grandmother, her real and fictional kisses and her personal search. The landscape is also populated by dildos, drag performances and an actor possessed by Andy Warhol himself. Everything passes through filters, gifs, stickers, post-contemporary aesthetics and the closeness that the length of the director’s arm gives us for this intimate social network diary, a hyper-documentary that tries to interpret this hypersexualised society. And fun, a post-humorous fun. Would you dare to laugh?
