NATURAL BORN MUTANT

Today, Friday, at 6.30 pm at the Festival’s Meeting Point, the essay book El cine y los géneros: conceptos mutantes will be presented, which is a collection of texts that theorize, work out and center on the idea of cinema as an art in constant mutation, without rules or conventions. Speakers will include Jaime Pena, Quintín, Marina Yuszczuk, Fernando Chiappussi and Juan Manuel Domínguez, who will present the essays of the book, signed among others by Stephanie Zacharek, Adrian Martin, Marcelo Panozzo, Scott Foundas, Kent Jones, Jim Finn, Juan Villegas, and Diego Trerotola—his “Pornotopias” is based on the documentary Too Much Pussy! Feminist Sluts, A Queer X Show (photo), showing at the Festival.

“Yes, culture is the technological account that victimizes us, but we can tear it to shreds to build our own post porn identity from the debris, as a work in permanent progress. In The Advocate of Fagdom, Glenn Belverio, partner and director of LaBruce, already puts it into words on a post-queer TV show that the filmmaker hosted in the drag persona of Judy Garland: ‘At this point of history, no sexuality is normal, everything is corrupted by culture... And efforts to normalize some kind of sexuality are senseless.’ What was said: culture is post porn,” concludes the chapter “Pornotopias” written by Diego Trerotola and published, as a foretaste of the book, in the “Soy” section of the Página/12 newspaper last Friday, April 1st.
