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.**
