BRAZILIAN COMPETITION • FEATURES

Beyond gaining increasing visibility across the festival circuit, these works reach audiences outside the LGBTQIA+ niche while broadening and deepening their thematic scope. Through perspectives that explore the diversity of trans experiences, the re-examination of masculinity, the intersection of sexuality and religion, and resistance to patriarchal structures, the films span intimate dramas, documentaries, and fantastical narratives. Humor, horror, and eroticism expand the possibilities for representing dissident bodies, desires, and communities, challenging established norms and imagining alternative ways of existing and relating to one another.
