Alessandro Avellis

A journey into contemporary French cinema through a series of exclusive interviews with the leading figures of GLBT French cinematography: André Téchiné, Catherine Corsini, Gaël Morel, Olivier Ducastel, Jacques Martineau and other old acquaintances of our film festival. This documentary offers an interesting insight into the official and non-official cinema from the point of view of gender identity. A look behind the scenes: discussing issues like censorship and self-censorship, women' cinema and misogyny, transvestism and homo-eroticism, cinema d'auteur and popular cinema (was the Nouvelle Vague homophobic?). From past to present, from Jacques Demy to François Ozon.

This documentary tries to answer these questions, and pays tribute to Alfredo Ormando, who burnt himself to death in January 1998 in St. Peter Square to protest against the homophobia of the catholic hierarchies.This film also investigates the privileges of the Vatican. Furthermore, The Vatican Rules explores the thorny debate about the draft law on civil unions that troubled Italy in 2007.

PHARE, BLUSH, FHAR! is an exploration of the nebula that gave life to sexual liberation movements in France. Through the actions of commandos delusional and testing with evocative titles (Report against normality Three billion or perverse) are sketched portraits Hocquenghem and Françoise d'Eaubonne, amazing intellectuals and unconditional supporters of the revolution of desire.

O filme tem a mesma ambientação histórico-sensual de “Os Sonhadores”, de Bernardo Bertolucci, mas é mais liberal e parece feito de forma caseira. É em pura estética super 8 e com câmera na mão que o jovem e estreante cineasta Alessandro Avellis viaja até a Paris do início dos anos 70. Depois de uma tentativa fracassada de criar um comitê homossexual de estudantes na Sorbonne, que acabou em orgia, Marc enfrenta problemas em lidar com sua própria sexualidade. Enquanto isso, Julie, sua melhor amiga, envolve-se cada vez mais na luta de classes e pela causa feminista. Os dois amigos se libertarão pela união de dois movimentos: o dos direitos do homossexual e o da mulher. Um programa de rádio desencadeia de vez as paixões e dá início a uma aventura política e sexual. Avellis inspirou-se livremente na história da FHAR (Frente de Ação Revolucionária Homossexual) e dedica o filme aos seus líderes, Guy Hocquenghem e Françoise d’Eaubonne.
