PLAYBACK (ENSAYO DE UNA DESPEDIDA)
Director: Agustina Comedi
Argentina, 2019
Spanish with English subtitles | 13:47 min
In Córdoba, far from the Argentinian capital, the end of a military regime promises a spring that lasts very little. “La Delpi” is the only survivor of a group of transgender women and drag queen friends, who began to die of AIDS in the late 80s. In a Catholic and conservative city, the Kalas Group made their weapons and trenches out of improvised dresses and playbacks.
Today the images of a unique and unknown footage are not only a farewell letter, but also a friendship manifesto.
