El Dance Off

Filmed in Chacomús (Argentina), this short film is offered as a love letter to Latin American queer culture and magical realism, which is so closely linked to the idiosyncrasy of this territory. The way in which the characters suffer from patriarchal tradition, so tinged with intransigence and dogmatism, is transgressed in this story that breaks with the expectations of its own generic code.

Synopsis: At a quiet gas station on the outskirts of a rural town, young Ernesto dreams of becoming a dancer. It isn't until his magical dance-off with a desolate drag queen that the boy discovers the courage to make his dreams a reality. [Films to Festivals].
