The second Gay/Lesbian/Trans Film Festival
of Argentina, was held from the 10 to the 20 November
2005, during the week of Pride GLTTBI in Argentina.
It was shown at the COSMOS CINEMA (Av. Corrientes 2046)
and the MALBA (Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires
- Collection Constantini - Av. Figueroa Alcorta 3415).
Three thousand and five hundred (3500) spectators enjoyed
the movies during the eleven days that the DIVERSA Festival
lasted. It also offered an art gallery where the works
of the artists Jesús Romero, Damián Gargiulo,
Leandro Torres, and Les Arts were exhibited; and four
debates where more than 250 people and many famous ones
participated, for example: Osvaldo Bazán, Anahí
Berneri, Javier Van de Couter, Tatiana Shapir, Romina
Gaetani, Pablo Cullel, Nicholas Scarpino, Marcelo Camaño,
Veronique Courtois and Pascual Condito among other personalities
of the national and international, cultural and cinematographic
task.
In
this opportunity the attending audience to the different
shows voted the French film "CRUSTACÉS ET
COQUILLAGES" of Olivier Ducastel and Jaques Martineau,
as the best fictional feature film, whereas two Argentine
films were chosen as best documentary and best short
film. One is "HOTEL GONDOLÍN" of Fernando
Lopez Escrivá, documentary that approaches the
daily life and the conflicts of 30 travestis that live
in this hotel in the City of Buenos Aires, and the short
film "NICK: CHICO_OSTRA" of Fabio Junco which
narrates the encounter of two young people in "gay
chat". Junco as well as Lopez Escrivá, received
their diplomas in the overwhelmed theatre of the Cosmos
Cinema by the hands of Gabriela Waisman, festival director.
Almost tripling the amount of spectators in the previous
edition, and counting with the support of the audience,
the specialized press and different national and international
institutions, DIVERSA, the International Film Festival
with thematic GLTTBI of Argentina had for the second
consecutive year, the cultural space created for the
diversity of realities and the respect for differences.
