The Blue Flower of Novalis
"Shown at the prestigious Berlin Film Festival, 'The Blue Rose of Novalis' is one of those documentaries to stir up our perception. The film centers around Marcelo Diorio, who suffers from a curious illness - and at the same time reveals his physical ailments, shares his family issues, social dilemmas, internal musings, and ramblings. The ultimate goal is always to take the viewer out of their comfort zone, be it through the accounts or due to the almost pornographic sex. There is also a lot of charisma on Diorio's part, which takes us like a good storyteller. It's probably not what you're looking for to watch, but you might end up liking what you find."
Divinely Evil
"Vil, Má" is a national documentary that tells the story of Wilma Azevedo, a writer of sadomasochistic literature and erotic stories. Now 70 years old, she narrates her turbulent life of sexually explicit experiences, shifting between a pseudonym and herself. The documentary takes an extremely intimate approach with its narrator, seeking a more personal analysis from the viewer instead of a judgment of values. She recounts sexual experiences ranging from surprising to bizarre, attempting to break taboos and conventions of narratives.
Documentary
Pedro
Pedro narra el acercamiento de una joven cineasta al reconocido artista Pedro Friedeberg. El contraste entre los momentos íntimos de estos dos personajes y los eventos públicos del artista completan un retrato tierno y a la vez cómico de una figura fantástica del arte mexicano.

Rosa Peral's Tapes
Following the same format as the documentary about the crime committed by Elize Matsunaga, which interviews the murderer to better understand her methods and thoughts, Rosa Peral's Tapes showcases the first interview with Rosa Peral, who has been in prison since she was convicted of her partner's murder with the help of a former lover. Following the successful true crime film format, the feature film explores the crime to the fullest – without much shame in doing so – while attempting to uncover the human side of this entire criminal case.
