Round Table

Wednesday, June 15, 6pm

How to represent the unrepresented: LGTBI inclusion in the film script

How to represent the unrepresented: LGTBI inclusion in the film script

With Zaida Carmona, Ferran Navarro-Beltrán and Elio Colen, moderadated by Alba Laguna.

Round table: Professional football and homosexuality: let's break the taboo!

… 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.

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.
