Queer Art: a cinema that challenges the concept of queer
The Queer Art Competition is the privileged space for a cinema that challenges the concept of queer, transposing its elasticity and complexity to a cinema that is its mirror, which breaks, experiments and takes its canons to new limits. The eight titles in the competition this year could not be more diverse, united by this eclecticism of fearlessness in looking for new languages:
- First Time (the Time for All but Sunset - Violet), Nicolaas Schmidt (Germany, 2021, 50’)
- Jerk, Gisèle Vienne (France, 2021, 60’)
- Neptune Frost, Anisia Uzeyman, Saul Williams (USA, Ruanda, 2021, 105’)
- Queens of the Qing Dynasty, Ashley Mckenzie (Canada, 2022, 122’)
- Travesía Travesti / Travesti Odyssey, Nicolás Videla (Chile, Argentina, 2021, 96’)
- Ultraviolette et le gang des cracheuses de sang / Ultraviolette and the Blood-Spitters Gang, Robin Hunzinger (France, Switzerland, 2021, 74’)
- Une dernière fois / One Last Time, Olympe de G. (France, 2020, 70’)
- Você Nos Queima / You Burn Us, Caetano Gotardo (Brazil, 2021, 73’)
