\n

The round table New Horizons and Challenges of Lesbian Cinema in Spain<\/i><\/b>, will evoke the emergence of a new generation of directors capable of realistically conveying the real experiences of the younger lesbian community (from Alba Cros to Zaida Carmona, including M\u00f2nica Rovira, Ruth Caudeli, Sara Fantova, Irene Moray, Isa Luengo, Sof\u00eda Esteve, or Nora Haddad). This will serve as a reminder of how difficult it remains for women to make films, especially those with lesbian themes (recalling, for example, the years it took Arantxa Echevarr\u00eda to do Carmen y Lola<\/i>, or the difficulties of others trying to make a name for themselves in film, such as Marta Balletb\u00f3-Coll), despite the increasingly common presence of out lesbian actresses in our film scene (Susi S\u00e1nchez, Inma Cuesta, Anabel Alonso, Elena Anaya, Alba Flores or Anna Castillo, for example). New projects, such as the production companies Amor y Lujo<\/b>, Vayolet Films<\/b>, or Loba Loba<\/b>, also seem to be changing things, towards a better representation of lesbian women in Spanish cinema. We will discuss this with the producers Carlotta Schiavon<\/b>, film critic Violeta Kovacsics Grisol\u00eda<\/b>, film director Sara Fantova<\/b>, moderated by Mar Canet<\/b>, director of La Casa del Cine. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

…<\/p>\n

Flamenco Queer <\/b>collective through photographs by Alexandre Br\u00e9<\/b>. This collective brings together artists passionate about flamenco who express, in their own way, the multiple facets of their personal and social identity through a queer interpretation of this traditional art. The images captured by Alexandre Br\u00e9 bear witness to the vitality and intensity of these artists, for whom every performance\u2014dance, song, or guitar\u2014becomes an act of affirmation. The exhibition explores how Queer Flamenco reinvents this cultural heritage, integrating contemporary themes while preserving its essence. <\/p>\n

Alexandre Br\u00e9<\/b> is a freelance photographer represented by Hans Lucas Studio. His work explores social, environmental, and fashion themes. His photographs have been published in numerous newspapers and magazines such as The Times, Paris Match, Lib\u00e9ration, Le Monde, Elle, and El Pa\u00eds. His immersive approach allows him to establish deep connections with his subjects, capturing the fragility and intensity of the gazes he photographs. Trained in film at prestigious Catalan institutions such as the CECC and ESCAC in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhe has directed several short films, including Hero\u00edna<\/i> (2015) and Transmission <\/i>(2017), screened at the CCCB and selected by Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Buen Planeta Foundation. He is currently working on his first feature-length documentary, Un air de bonheur<\/i>, as well as an animated short titled Les Fr\u00e8res d\u2019Armor<\/i>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

WORKSHOP<\/h4><\/div>

Tango Queer<\/strong> with Movimiento Factory<\/i><\/h2><\/div>
\"Queer<\/span><\/div>

\u00a9<\/b><\/span><\/span> Movimiento Factory<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>... a safe space for learning tango, open to all people,<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
On the occasion of the The gaze of Argentine Cinema <\/b>section, we have partnered with the wonderful dance space Movimiento Factory<\/b><\/a>, located in the heart of Gr\u00e0cia, to offer you two wonderful Queer Tango workshops!<\/p>\n

\u201cTango is not just music and movement; it is a dialogue between bodies where expression, sensations, and feelings are shared.\u201d <\/i><\/b>Ezequiel De Rosa<\/b><\/p>\n

The workshop offers a safe space for learning tango, open to all, without restrictions based on gender, age, physicality, or identity. More than a dance, tango is a body language, a game of communication in which the dynamics between those who dance it are explored. In the QUEER TANGO workshop, we break with the traditional heteronormative codes of social dance and immerse ourselves in experimentation, playing with roles to discover new forms of connection and expression. Through the exploration of movement and the exchange of roles, both when leading and when being guided, the social constructions of gender are questioned, allowing roles to blur and reinvent themselves. This workshop invites you to delve into the world of tango, transforming dance step by step into a powerful tool for self-knowledge, empowerment, and personal freedom. <\/p>\n

No previous experience is necessary! Open to everyone and all levels, and high heels are not required ;) <\/b><\/p>\n

Registration<\/b>: can be done:<\/p>\n
