ALT* Festival de Cine Documental LGBT+

Thursday, 24 April 2025 until Sunday, 27 April 2025

Somos el primer festival de cine LGBT+ en Latinoamérica centrado en documentales / Latin America's first documentary-only LGBT+ film festival.

En la primera edición de ALT*, te invitamos a un emocionante viaje cinematográfico que celebra las realidades queer en América Latina y conecta historias y experiencias que desafían las barreras del amor, el género, la migración, la violencia, la discriminación y las políticas públicas.

Buscamos documentales que sean una ventana a la interseccionalidad de la vida queer, explorando sus conexiones con temas raciales, migratorios, coloniales, culturales, de políticas públicas y cualquier otro ángulo de la construcción social donde se cuestione el binarismo opresivo.

Más que proyecciones, el festival ofrecerá experiencias en las que el cine documental estará acompañado de cenas, copas, fiestas, merch y mesas de análisis.

ALT* Festival de Cine Documental LGBT+ is a documentary-only film festival focused on our community, and exploring themes of love, gender, migration, violence, discrimination and public policy.

For its very first edition, we invite you to an exciting cinematic journey that celebrates queer realities in Latin America and connects stories and experiences that challenge the barriers of love, gender, migration, violence, discrimination and public policy.

We’re looking for documentaries that offer a window into the intersectionality of queer life, exploring its connections to racial, migratory, colonial, and cultural issues.

More than screenings, the festival will offer experiences in which documentary film will be accompanied by dinners, drinks, parties, merch and roundtable discussions.

We seek to share stories that portray the intersectionality of queer life and its connections with racial, migratory, colonial, cultural and any other angle of social construction where oppressive binarism is questioned.
