FUCKING BORNHOLM

Recommended. Stunning cinematography, be it nearly 3D shots or the use of light and colour combined with perfect clarity, is the first and main attraction. Precisely matching music enhances the sensual pleasure. Genre-wise it's a psychological thriller, consulted by a child psychologist - fear not, where the unpredictability of human reactions nails you to the screen. 


13. LGBT+ FILM FESTIVAL

SPANISH SHORTS

I only managed to see the last film of the set:

BETTER DAYS

Watchable. Shocking statistics of over 1000 trans people killed over 2 years, 78% of whom in Latin America, where the machismo culture's to blame. But the testimonies are sketchy and more like expressions of gratitude to the organisation. Barely a film. 

TRES TIGRES TRISTES (THREE TIDY TGERS TIED A TIE TIGHTER)

Watchable partly. I purposefully dozed through some of this ludicrous 86-minute film. Just a few scenes were interesting enough, especially the memory loss ones. The rest, including mask behaviours, made no sense. 

NO STRAIGHT LINES: THE RISE OF QUEER COMICS
 
Watchable. A few decades of comic book history transpire through the memories of gay authors. Informative but the plots and the drawings didn't tickle my fancy.
