CONTENT WARNING:

Ariel is a young religious dressmaker who, after a failed sexual encounter, discovers a secret her family has tried to hide all of her like: she was born intersex but, after corrective surgery, raised as a girl. A decision is now in her horizon: she can either keep living as a socially accepted but oppressed woman or live her life as an intersexual person and face the judgement of society.

This film is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.

A teenage girl lives her first feelings of love and desire. But while she discovers orgasm in the arms of a ladyfriend, she suffers an incredible metamorphosis. It follows rejection, disconnection of reality, isolation, disgust of herself and of sex. However, she will realize that this strange skill could be more a gift than a blemish... A pop and fantastic tale about emergence of sexuality and self-acceptance.

José (19 years old) lives with his mother (50s) in Guatemala: a tough life in one of the world's most dangerous, religious, and impoverished countries. José is her youngest and favorite child, and her life is going to church and selling sandwiches. Jose spends his days on crowded buses and in the streets delivering food. Resigned and aloof, in free moments he plays with his phone and looks for random sex. When he meets Luis, Jose is thrust into a dimension of passion and pain and self-reflection that was previously unimaginable. Jose (2018) won "Queer Lion" award at 75th Venice Film Festival and was first ever film from Central America in Venice Film Festival.

Not everything in life is funny....luckily this program is. From bisexual mothers coming out late in life, to dildos, to Weho sluts, to even a woman marrying herself...this program has it all. Curated by Katie Shannon.
