Co-presented with the Vancouver Queer Film Festival.
Curated by Kathleen Mullen and Robert Rios
Amor (es) ciego explores with angst and humour the many ways love shapes, complicates, and transforms our lives. Across these films, love appears as desire, discovery, and devotion. It can illuminate our deepest truths while blinding us to our faults, becoming both a blessing and a risk.
This year’s selection reflects the evolving landscape of queer Latin American storytelling, where love is no longer confined to struggle alone, but expands into joy, vulnerability, and possibility. Notably, for the first time, the program includes three films made by Latine filmmakers in the United States, highlighting how migration and new cultural contexts can create space for different expressions of queer affection and belonging.
Together, these stories invite us to embrace romantic love in all its beautiful contradictions.
