Consent Factory: Lesbo-Queer Perspectives
Dir: Mathilde Capone
What if lesbo-queer communities had something to share about the singularities of their sexualities? Through the complex topic of consent, sixteen protagonists from these communities speak up. Could there be blurred lines, a continuum between consent and aggression? How can we defeat rape culture and innovate in matters of consent? How has the notion of aggression been used historically to exclude trans women? In a deep introspection of their intimacies, these protagonists ask questions, get angry, laugh, create other possibilities. They suggest to look more closely at consent, from the experience of their marginalized communities, their subcultures and their explorations.

Cracks in the Patriarchy
Dirs: Cagdas Celtikli, Kai Münch
A documentary told by seven protagonists, who share their personal and political point of view by expressing the reasons and the purposes for their advocacy as members of the Buenos Aires LGBTQI+ Community. Each one of them narrates personal processes and experiences which constitute their social and political identity as well as the motivation for their struggle for an equal and fairer future. We are shown a diversity of perspectives, rooted in their beings and their fights, through their descriptions of very similar topics and facts from a historical and contemporary approach based on their unique points of view. In that sense, the protagonists do not only share a common desire, but also their motivation to be part of a Community that advocates for a world that everyone can feel as a safe space, and in which the patriarchy becomes a historical issue.
