-AL BORDE International Transfeminist Film Festival is a platform for exhibition, getting together, and for Artivist, sexual-dissident, communal, and Transfeminist Trans-formation. It was born from the desire and urgency to circulate and provoke narratives and audiovisual pedagogies that create conditions of visibility for existences that surpass the limits of what is possible.
Our purpose is to contribute to make filmmaking a space of rebellion, freedom, healing, meeting, and love, so that we who live in the borders of gender, sexuality, corporal normativity and feminisms can look at and narrate ourselves in our own terms, uniting our diverse fights.
In our first edition in 2021 we decided that the festival would be biannual, hybrid (virtual and presential) and itinerant. This is why in 2023 we are carrying out our second edition named Misbehaved Gazes, where the focus will be on audiovisuals that offend, disturb, scandalize and corrupt the cis-tem. Gazes incarnated in bodies that have violently experimented the regime imposed by the heteropatriarchal, colonial, capitalist, racist, speciesist, binary order, expert in the production of images and cinematographic stories to sustain its hegemony. We are especially interested in underrepresented stories inside of LGBTIQ+, feminist, and communal film spaces.
THE FESTIVAL:
The International “Cinema Povero” Film Festival is open to everybody: rich film-makers, poor film-makers of any gender or religion all welcome provided they have developed a beautiful, original idea on a limited budget
