Playback 2019 (5.417)

In Córdoba, far from the Argentine capital, the end of a military regime promises a spring that is all too brief. “La Delpi” is the only survivor of a group of friends who are transgender women and drag-queens, who began to die of aids in the late 80s. In a Catholic and conservative city, the Grupo Kalas made their weapons and trenches out of improvised dresses and lip-syncing. Today the images of unique and unknown footage are not only a farewell letter, but a manifesto to friendship.

Archivo de la Memoria Trans 2021 (4)

The Trans Memory Archive gathers the images and stories of trans women for more than 50 years, preserving the memory of those who suffered the outrages of the police, the abandonment of the State and the hostility of the society that witnessed, indolent, a silent genocide. Cintia, Edith, María Belén and Trachyn survived. They share with us the intimacy and complexity of those who faced injustice and pain with humor and creativity, but also with organization and community. In the style of a documentary essay, the series is structured along four axes, each one starring one of them: they talk about carnival, affection, exile and organization, and through their personal experiences they open the door to understand the reality of an entire community.
