A poem, a tale, a letter, a diary – cinema as writing, writing as cinema. This programme of Latin American queer short films, presented by Cinema Mentiré and Romancero, moves through literature in all its forms: urgent, intimate, and infinite.

Literature here is a mirror, a confession, the body: a place for self-reflection, for identity and sexual expression, for voices that insist on existing. These films inhabit writing as a tool of presence, of memory, of desire.

The letters that form words, the words that form sentences and the sentences that form expressions, all together, our voices, our speech, our narratives. Spanning Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, and Uruguay, this selection invites you to drift through sensations, visions and fragments at the crossroads of queer literature and cinema.
