Las personas entrevistadas en este documental anhelan contar con espacios seguros nocturnos para bailar, disfrutar y socializar con otras mujeres queer. Ante la ausencia de estos establecimientos, ha surgido la propuesta Nok Nights, una fiesta organizada por personas queer que busca brindar un ambiente nocturno seguro específicamente para mujeres de la comunidad LGBTTQIA+. No obstante, se trata de un evento esporádico, pues no cuenta con un lugar ni fechas fijas. Entonces, ¿a dónde van las mujeres queer el resto de las noches?

Spain / 30 mins
En el documental “Diversitats i Terres” entrevistamos a personas que cuentan de primera mano el choque entre cultura y homosexualidad, religión e identidad de género, violencia y libertad. Es importante que el público comprenda la existencia de lo diferente, es más, que lo sienta como si fuera suyo por un momento. A través de los testimonios de las migrantes a Barcelona nos acercamos a una realidad que no hace mucho también formaba parte del malestar de “aquí”, del abuso al diferente de “aquí”, de “nuestra” represión. ¿Pertenecen al colectivo LGTBI? Sí, pero antes que eso “pertenecen” a otro estado, algunas de ellas al así denominado “tercer mundo”. El acercamiento a sus historias y experiencias no va a erradicar los prejuicios, pero quizás nos hace sentir un poco peor la próxima vez que juzgamos sin comprender, sin profundizar, adoctrinados por el sensacionalismo y los estereotipos.

Manuel must have been really drunk last night! He wakes up feeling hungover, with a perfect stranger sleeping next to him. Naked. Manuel is naked too, and try as he may, he cannot remember who that man is and what happened. The fact that his girlfriend is about to return from a trip abroad and his house is crowded with friends for an impromptu party is no help to him in trying to remember. Perhaps the path to understanding will be longer and more complicated than it seems.

The society she comes from, just like most parts of the world, tends to recognize only two genders, male and female. But Iran is a country that completely ignores the LGBTQ community, and they also face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBTQ residents. In Iran, people can legally change their sex, although sexual activity between members of the same sex is illegal and can be punishable by death. The government force transgender people to choose out of Female and Male and their identity recognized through sex-reassignment surgery. Mahsa evokes her feelings and state of mind through this animation.

Brazil / 9:57 mins
"Why wake up, O breath of spring" , in the opera Werther by Jules Massenet, was part of the arias that Michael Jackson sang in the privacy of his studio. Nino Laisné and François Chaignaud reinvent a Werther that would have been absorbed by Jackson: the same fascination for nature, the desire to revisit ancestral legends and the expression of amorous distress. The performer sings, dances and transforms, he slides between different vocal and physical registers and seems to prolong Michael Jackson's dream of total expression.
