Self-defined trans film, Anhell69, is to show at this year’s Chronic Youth Film Festival, which returns to Barbican Cinemas in London in April.
A genre-busting, transgressive and kaleidoscopic musing on the lives and deaths of a group of queer Colombian twentysomethings, Anhell69 seamlessly blends fiction and reality. Directed by Theo Montoya, this “intoxicating debut feature” tells the story of a group of queer friends in Medellin as they navigate sex, drugs and a new nation still reeling from conflict.
Based on a fictional film project of Montoya’s, Anhell69 explores what it means to tell stories about marginalised lives, culminating in a haunting meditation on friendship, death, and belonging.
Chronic Youth Film Festival returns to Barbican Cinemas with a programme entitled OUT-OF-ORDER: A series of films about misdemeanours and transgressions. From messy encounters to lyrical dreamscapes, this ninth edition of the festival, curated and delivered by Barbican Young Programmers, includes four features and a programme of shorts.
Catch Anhell69 in Cinema 3 on Saturday, April 27 at 6.15pm.
