It is part of the team of writers of television series in the 90’s and 2000 (Poble Nou, Rias Baixas, Plaza Alta, El cor de la ciutat, Ventdelplà). With Jesus Ramos writes the dictionary the script Audiovisual (Ocean publishing, 2003), focused arguments, characters and analysis of structures.
Mónica Jordan was born in Cerdanyola in 1982. After her degree in English and Hispanic Philology, she took a turn to the audiovisual field. Graduated in Theory and Cinema Criticism at the Cinema Observatory, she begins her path as co-editor of the online magazine called “Cinema Transit”, and she participates as an Editor in several media, such as “Looks”, “Detour” and “Divergent Films”.
She is a film critic for Levante newspaper and for the Sensa cinema website. She collaborated as well in two collective books of the Macnulti publishing house. She belongs to the Board of Filmmakers from the Catalan Association of Film Critics and Writers since 2013, the very year in which the First Film Critic Conference was organized.
Vicens A. Escribà is a Professor of Audiovisual media for four decades teaching Film Production about 8mm, 16 mmm and 35mm films; Video: betamax, video8, U-matic, Betacam, DVcam, HDV and 3D System, and also teaching and coordinating television productions at EMAV (Audiovisual Media School).
His work consists mainly of cinema movies and an extensive list of videos, and we would like to bring out the short film “Absent viewers” which was started being shot for the opening day of the Fantastic Film Festival in Sitges, and it was presented in the closing night. With “The Piece” happened that for the first time a short film had both cinematographic and videographic texture. The research of visual language has been a constant in his 35mm shorts as a filmdirector or a producer.
In order to celebrate the present 15th anniversary, we have invited filmmakers, actors and some other professionals from Canada, Israel, India, France, Denmark, United States and Italy who will present themselves their latest films. This year, our guest country is Mexico.
Since last year we surprised you with a new subject, never touched before in cinema: woman violence within the lesbian couple, this year the Festival is also dealing deeply with themes such as childhood transgender, rejection of Islamic homophobia, sexual harassment in family, sexual relations between Muslim women, sadomasochism as a philosophy of life, public humiliation at school, and we also pay homage to Tom of Finland and Ralf König’s characters, still in force. Ah!, and also a cinephile review about the legendary porn cinema made in France and performed by very young actors.
This year we present very notable firsts: We have invited LA VIDA PURA, Panayotis Evangelidis (Greece 2015), a moving film, portrait of a young gay porn actor; and Cuban film production, wedding dress, Marilyn Solaya (Cuba 2014), with actors like Jorge Perugorría that from Strawberry and Chocolate was not involved in any other film gltb theme, and has received several awards from the public international festivals.
These, along with the Latin American short schedule are examples of independent cinema where, in the case of Cuban film, get to participate official institutions such as the ICAIC, this means that production is being imposed less-government links and where creativity than budget. A lesson in the end makes the policy change institutional aid.
You enjoy it one more year of this careful selection of what will be The 15th Barcelona International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
