SUMMARY:Larry (They/Them)

SUMMARY:Spotlight on Greece
DESCRIPTION:Spotlight on Greece:  \nAvant-Drag! – dir. Fil Ieropoulos/92min/Greece/2024/Greek with English subtitles  \nIn the poetic documentary Avant-Drag!\, we follow the lives of ten Athens-based drag performers as they create their own temporary worlds as a refuge against a hostile reality. By watching closely the lives and modes of expression of the protagonists\, we get in touch with a new scene that has been blossoming in recent years and discover through them how the art of drag can transform reality and create safe spaces for people marginalized by Greek society. \nThe protagonists of Avant-Drag! raise a series of questions about gender\, ethnicity\, religion and sexuality in the contemporary Greek context. Following a modular structure\, Avant-Drag! presents a series of artists with different gender identities\, backgrounds and approaches to life\, but all of whom express their creativity as a political act. They demand an equal and safe existence while exploring innovative ways of artistic expression. The film culminates with the participants meeting at a dinner party where a series of conversations are held concerning the art of drag\, the integration of queer representation into the mainstream and the impact of Athenian drag queen Zackie Oh’s murder on the local queer scene. \nAvant-Drag! breaks the conventions of queer/identity documentaries that at times take a journalistic/cinematically minimal and distant\, ‘objective’ approach\, choosing to create instead a surreal collage in which narratives and images are built alongside the very subjects presented. A community speaks for itself without the mediation of an outsider’s gaze. \nPreceded by  \nPigeons are dying\, when the city is on fire dir.Stavros Markoulakis/21:00/Greece/2023/Greek with English subtitles On the warmest day of the year\, two boys meet. A few hours later a pigeon gets trapped with them. During this heatwave\, all creatures dream of escaping from the city that’s burning.  \n
