End of the Century (dir. Lucio Castro, Argentina/USA)

When Ocho (Juan Barberini), an Argentine poet on holiday in Barcelona, spots Javi (Ramón Pujol) from the balcony of his apartment, it sparks fantasies of a holiday romance. After fruitlessly searching dating apps for him, the couple have a second missed connection, spotting each other across a Spanish beach. When Javi sees Ocho from his balcony a second time, he knows he can’t let him slip through his fingers again. A tentative “kiss” from the balcony leads to a lust-filled, passionate hook up.

What seems like a one-time encounter between two strangers becomes an epic, decades-spanning relationship, in which time and space refuse to play by the rules.

Words (dir. A.J. Mattioli, USA)

Exploring the beautiful, historic and ever evolving landscape of America’s busiest city, Manhattan, twenty-one diverse nationalities, backgrounds and personalities share how their stories break down the labels placed upon them. These New Yorker’s are contextualized in a range of environments from Drag Performers in the nightlife club scene to the Gay Police Officers trying to change the force; the legal field fighting for under represented groups to the fashion icons trying to push beyond gender. “Words” investigates the dissonance between self and socially constructed identities and gives the viewer freedom to be themselves.

This film features exclusive interviews from a variety of artists, activists, icons, and innovators, whom all are living their truth in a world that told them they couldn’t. “Words” dissects, deconstructs and pays powerful tribute to the language we use to shape the many facets of our identities as men, women, artists, New Yorkers, and most importantly humans.
