David Wagner
Austria (2022)
Sergeant Major Eismayer is known and feared as the toughest officer in the Austrian armed forces, ruthless to recruits and unwavering in his discipline, order and manly toughness. However, when he begins to fall for Falak, a new recruit who shamelessly accepts his homosexuality, Eismayer's closet life is turned upside down. For a man like him, loving another man cannot match his vision of the model soldier. Will he choose to protect his tough guy armor above all else or will he be able to follow his heart and his true desire?
Eismayer is inspired by a true story. He addresses the issue of the stereotyped image of men and explores the extent to which sexual orientation is automatically associated with certain conventions and social roles.

pornomelancholy
Manuel Abramovich
Argentina (2022)
Lalo is a sex-influencer: he posts photos of his naked body and homemade porn videos for his thousands of followers on social networks. Lalo directs her own life, but privately, out of character, she seems to live in a permanent melancholy. Where does desire itself go when life becomes a sexual show? Pornomelancholia takes pornography as a starting point to reflect on the relationship between sexuality and work, on being public and feeling alone, on the characters we build of ourselves to show ourselves (or hide) from the world.
I am madly loving you
Alejandro Marin
Spain (2023)
Seville, 1977. At a time when homosexuality is a crime, Reme, traditional mother of an aspiring adolescent artist, will have to face the Andalusian LGTBI movement, paradoxically gestated within the Church. Director Alejandro Marín – after the acclaimed series Maricón perdido (we were able to see the first episodes at FIRE!!) and the wonderful short film Nacho no conduce (also programmed at FIRE!!) – presents his first feature film, shot between Seville and Barcelona, with this portrait of a mother capable of anything and of overcoming her prejudices for the love of her son.
