La mesa Adrian Garcia Gomez

With an interesting work of drawing on a black and white photographic image, director Adrian Garcia Gomez delves into memory to place his imaginary regarding identity and the past in the environment of the western and Mexican cinema of the 40s and 50s. This short film follows its predecessor Mikveh (2016), with which it has a sensitive attunement regarding its formality and concerns, which the Californian creator will continue in his subsequent work, using a much more complex visual composition.

Synopsis: A series of unconnected vignettes, sketched on fragments of westerns and old Mexican films, introduce the filmmaker himself into these works, exploring the identity and longings of the queer child he was. The short film challenges the representation of men, love and masculinity.
