DIVERSA
is a film festival of LGBTT interest (lesbian/
gay/ bisexual/ transgender/ transsexual).
We
know that there are a lot of people eager to watch queer cinema,
a cinema with which we identify, a cinema that is closer to us,
that shows us new aspects of culture that may enrich our lives.
And this has become evident in the high number of attendees to
various films of gay interest recently screened in Buenos Aires.
There are many people who need to look at themselves on the screen,
to look at their peers, and thus understand life a bit better.
This is the public we hope will find their place in our Festival.
Our
aim is to gather all kind of national and foreign films and videos.
We will screen films from other countries never shown here before.
We also wish to provide a space for all Argentine productions.
We know there are many local productions available at the time
and that there are many others being developed; this Festival
will offer them an appropriate place for their exhibition.
In
addition to our cinematographic objective, we wish this event
to be an opportunity to meet each other. We welcome everyone to
the Festival. You do not have to be LGBTT to come and watch the
films. We want everyone to participate and help create a relaxed
and attractive environment. The focus of this event is Diversity,
both in the content of the films and in the public we hope to
meet together.
The
Festival will last 10 days approximately, and it will be held
during the LGBTT Pride Week, celebrated in Buenos Aires in November.
This is the first time an event of this kind is carried out in
Argentina, and the idea is to hold it every year, showing not
only audiovisual material but also adding other types of artistic
expressions.
DIVERSA
is
a fully independent event, generated by people who have been long
dreaming of a project of this type, and who decided that instead
of keeping on waiting for this event to take place, they'd rather
do it themselves.
That
is why we invite everyone wishing to support us in any way, to
contact us.
You
are all invited to join. You will be all warmly welcome. We wish
to make you feel at home.
DIVERSA
does not have any political orientation. We are just a group of
people at a cultural event who wishes to share part of our world
with everyone wishing to come and share theirs with us.
