Coming Into Bloom

A young bisexual woman in Copacabana searches for her place in the fight for lesbian civil rights. In conversation with Yone Lindgren, a long time activist and elder in the lesbian community, she learns about the trajectory of many of her queer elders who are coerced back in the closet, where they become invisible to society, while younger queers in the movement search for guidance. This film affirms the necessity of fostering intergenerational relationships in order to ensure resistance and thriving. This compassionate portrait urges us to ‘Wake up! Shake off the blues’ and get involved in mutual care.

Tenho Receio De Teorias Que Não Dançam

Can a transvestite produce theory? This short film, recorded in the villages of Santo André and Guaiú, in the south of Bahia, features the text and performance of performer and teacher Dodi Leal, who presents a vision of embodied knowledge production based on a brief narrative of her artistic work. 'I'm afraid of theories that don't dance' indicates the deep relationship of the trans body with environmental art, investigating the movement of gender in the mangrove, the vivification of river thought and dance flows of the sea. The concepts dance and vibrate as the binarism of body versus nature is broken.
