Screening and talk: Being a footballer and gay, let’s break the taboo
To talk about this situation, we will screen the documentary Being a footballer and gay, let’s break the taboo by French activist Yoann Lemaire, followed by a talk with two experts from the sports world and the director of FIRE!! In France, and with two million affiliated footballers, Yoann was the only one to make his homosexuality public 10 years ago and he was expelled from his team because of that. Since then, he has campaigned for a change of practices and mentalities in amateur and professional soccer circles. His exciting documentary, in addition to telling his own story, gives voice to the most important players and coaches in French football, including in particular an exclusive interview with Antoine Griezmann, 2018 world soccer champion, who talks about the urgency of acting against homophobia in the world of sport.
Talk after the screening with:
> Toni Travieso Rodríguez, vice president of the Barcelona LGTBI sports club Panteres Grogues
> Henry de Laguérie, French journalist based in Barcelona; general news and sport for the written press, radio and television (Radio France).
> Antoine Leonetti, director of the Mostra FIRE!!

Round table: How to represent the unrepresented: LGTBI inclusion in the film script
With Zaida Carmona Moderada, Ferran Navarro-Beltrán and moderated by Alba Laguna.
…in the audio-visual world in general and in the cinema in particular, despite the cliché according to which “gay” characters abound in films today. The ODA (Observatory of Diversity in Audiovisual Media) pointed out in its 2020 report that the presence of LGTBI characters in the analysed movies and TV series is only 7.1%, falling even to 3.8% in the case of cinema films (knowing that, worldwide, 20% of the population does not identify as strictly heterosexual). As if that were not enough, only 54% of the LGTBI characters in these films pass the “Vito Ruso” qualitative test, developed by GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), and within this underrepresentation, the situation of certain people (trans or bisexual, for example), is even worse.
Furthermore, not all parts of the LGTBI collective are represented in the same way. At this roundtable we have invited scriptwriters and filmmakers who focus their work on the least and worst represented people of the LGBTI community: lesbians, trans people, migrants, the elderly… Most of the time, they are invisible in the audio-visual field or represented in a stereotyped way. To make the diversity of LGTBIQ+ stories more visible, we have invited Zaida Carmona, Ferran Navarro-Beltrán and Elio Colen.

Zaida wanted to be a young promise but as far as “young” is concerned, she is a little late. La amiga de mi amiga is her first feature film project. Before embarking on it, she directed video clips for Monterrosa, Borque and visual pieces for Christina Rosenvinge. Her penultimate adventure is called Son ilusiones, a short film recorded in the strange spring of 2020 (which is not about the virus, it is about love, of course) and which is currently in the distribution phase. With Cristina Pastrana she presents the podcast La amiga de mi amiga (yes, it’s a title that she likes a lot and yes, it’s also a bollero (dyke) podcast). She works as a Social Media Manager at Filmin.
He studied Industrial Engineering and Design at the UPC. After working in graphic design studios, he began his career as a screenwriter and director. He has written and directed the documentary La Generación Silenciosa (2020) and a trilogy of short films: Rosa (2021), Nomeolvides (2018) and La Orquídea (2016), all on LGTBI themes and starring people over 60 years of age, with the aim to give prominence to this group, invisible in a large part of society. He usually works as a graphic artist within the art team of series and films for different movie platforms.
Elio has a Master’s degree in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and a Master’s degree in Facial Psychomorphology. He has done multiple jobs and researched in different fields such as photography, writing, film, radio and documentary.
