Cervantes Film Series: Zinegoak 20th anniversary. LGTBIQ+ Animation
As part of her thesis project, filmmaker Andrea Gudiño proposed this animated documentary that brings us closer to the issue of sexual binarism. The possibility of using the experiences and personal testimonies of real people who do not appear in the image but are generated from an original use of materials and cinematographic techniques, achieves an enormous visual and didactic impact, one of the most effective resources in an animated documentary like this one. The short film is an interesting approach to different ways of conceiving identity, the relationship with one’s own body and love.
Free Community Event
The Cervantes Institute maintains its program dedicated to LGTBIQ+ identities by collaborating with institutions and monographic festivals to make their film series more visible. This year, the program dedicated to highlighting the celebration of LGTBIQ+ Pride Day comes from the Basque festival Zinegoak, which celebrates its twenty years of existence with the presentation of an animated film series whose films address this theme on our Vimeo channel. Throughout four weeks, we will see short films that showcase a wide range of identities and LGTBIQ+ collectives through the different techniques that animation provides, and we will also have the opportunity to enjoy several short films by young creators from Basque Country.
