TEOREMA - Fiction - |
This
section's main intention is to connect us with our essence,
to help us look inside of ourselves, at our inner world
(already discovered by some, unknown by some others),
so we could find the most diverse answers and our own
and honest self.
This fictions present a variety of themes, narratives,
aesthetics and philosophies that reflect the abstract
materials that compound our souls and that build new
paths to circulate through it (just with a little bit
of imagination). Films that generate the most diverse
sensations and emotions, from laughter to tears, pleasure,
and why nor anger.
Perhaps these theorems will be helpful to define our
true identities, what we are and what wear not.
In
this edition you'll find a distinctive seal in French
and German productions, respectively sponsored by The
French
Embassy in Argentina and The Goethe
Institute, that will show us how near and
similar this experiences from distant locations could
be for us.

Meiwes posted an ad on the Internet looking for a man who
wished to be murdered and eaten by him. Armando Brandes
replied and the encounter took place shortly afterwards.
What followed was a trial for murder splashed all over the
world's press front pages. The film plays with the audience's
knowledge of the hair-raising facts and re-signifies each
stage of a love affair (the first meeting, the first kiss,
sex) in order to build a critic view of society and homosexuality.

Testimonies and specific matters make this section an
exploration of facts and realities, with a particular
point of view, enriching and diverse each time.
The ways to make documentaries have changed. And so have
their contents. The new productions presented in this
section try to resume, in their own audiovisual way, political
and social changes, individual or in group, generated
in the most different parts of the world.
The mixture and confrontations between speeches and experiences
contained in this dialogue, are useful tools to think
about multiplicity in the search of identity, presented
in this directors' work.
Each option and suggestion is not only the evidence of
their own representation of reality, but also an approximation
to all this communities defending their rights within
their own ones.
We hope that this alternatives could shorten distances
between us all and guide us towards a more peaceful, tolerant,

PANORAMA |
In this section we present the actual panorama of the
national GLTB production, in fiction and documentary and
short film format.
We introduce "Todas esas cosas", Paula de Luque's
documentary, and exhibit Lucía Puenzo's "XXY",
winner of the Gran Premio de la Semana de la Critics Week
Great Prize in the 2007 edition of Cannes Film Festival.
For the GLTB films made in Argentina DIVERSA is an opened
window to the rest of the world, and that's why we felt
that this claimed and award winning film deserved to be
included even after being released in the market.
In this way we get in touch with our filmmaker's visions
- materials generated in a reality that is common to all
argentines (although diverse) - recognizing our own codes
and forms in them, feeling closer or more distant, but
never strangers.

| FROM
TURIN TO BUENOS AIRES - Retrospective - |
Seven titles, four fiction stories, two docu-fiction movies
and one documentary in the classic version, are part of
this section put together for Diversa.
All, apart for Grido by Pippo Del Bono, autobiographical
film about one of the most important and controversial
figures in Italian theatre, that was shown on the Italian
market a few months prior to the 2007 edition of 'From
Sodom to Hollywood', represent the best of Italian GLTB
productions shown at the Festival in the last three editions.
Although the variety of subjects what links these films
together is their authors vision : a vision inspired by
the need to search clarity, to understand and to tell
stories that are necessarily close to the social state
of this Country that seems to have lost every certainty
and that's stuck between a tradition from which it can't
set free and a change that it doesn't dare to reach. The
kind of change that's occurred in Spain and is the background
to Ma la Spagna non era cattolica? by Peter Marcias.
Seems this change cannot be achieved even with the first
transgendered Member of Parlament, Vladimir Luxuria, elected
with a Majority that based their campaign on equal rights
for partners, but still hasn't ruled to guarantee them.
All of this is told in the interesting documentary L'eletta.
Four films, Four stories, full of history and politics,
or full of social matters, where a complex reality, culturaly
and ethnicaly diverse is shown: like in Cover boy by Carmine
Amoroso, where the main character is a Rumenian guy who
finds it difficult to find his place in Italy.

how the savagery of a daily dog-eat-dog struggle for survival
can be opposed by the bonds of genuine friendship.
