SUN INSIDE
UM FILME DE VERÃO
Dir. Jo Serfaty, Brazil, 2019, 94min.
Jo Serfaty’s spirited debut feature follows its four teenage characters through the shimmering heat of Rio de Janeiro as they graduate into an uncertain future. Navigating the currents of self-discovery and self-doubt, Um filme de verão both captures and emulates, with enviable spontaneity, that deliciously messy coming-of-age feeling.

TRAVESTI ODYSSEY
TRAVESÍA TRAVESTI
Dir. Nicolás Videla, Chile, 2019, 96 min.
October 2019, as Chile erupted in protests, Cabaret Travesía Travesti delivered its final performance in which, Maraca Barata, Anastasia María Benavente, and Amnesia Letal fearlessly challenged power structures and confronted trans marginalization. In Nicolás Videla's documentary, memories come alive through scratchy Mini DV and VHS footage. Travesía Travesti is an extraordinary fusion of queer celebration, radical politics, and an unwavering display of unapologetic power.
