Schnelle Bildwechsel, untermalt von Pop-Samples und Soundeffekten, ein Hauch Glitzer und eine ganze Packung Emojis. Die YouTuberin Alice Júnior produziert ihr neuestes Video über den ersehnten ersten Kuss. Doch als ihr Vater ihr Zimmer betritt und vor laufender Kamera verkündet, dass er mit ihr von der pulsierenden brasilianischen Großstadt Recife in ein konservatives Städtchen im Süden des Landes ziehen will, muss sich Alice gegen Prüderie und Engstirnigkeit wappnen. Die transidente Teenagerin, verkörpert von Bloggerin Anne Celestino Mota, lässt sich trotz anfänglicher Repressionen nichts anhaben. Selbstbewusst und charismatisch wirft sie mit ihrer schillernden Persönlichkeit die neuen Mitschüler*innen und Lehrer*innen aus den katholisch gefurchten Bahnen.

Fast-moving cuts set to pop samples and sound effects, a hint of glitz and bagful of emojis. Alice Júnior is producing her latest YouTube video about the long-awaited first kiss. But when her father walks into her bedroom and announces in front of the camera that they will be leaving the vibrant Brazilian city of Recife and moving to a small, conservative town in the south, Alice has to prepare herself for the prudery and small-mindedness she will confront there. The transgender teenager, played by the blogger Anne Celestino Mota, doesn‘t let the initial hostility get her down. With her dazzling personality, the self-confident and charismatic Alice makes her new schoolmates and teachers rethink their conservative Catholic ways.

About the Perception of Women in Spain in the 90s

Las Niñas is a film in this year’s Generation program with a strong young female protagonist first becoming aware of the world’s inequalities between boys and girls and its injustices. It is set in the 90s in Spain. I was lucky enough to get in tough with the films director Pilar Palomero and ask her a few questions: freie Generation Reporter: Can you tell me a bit about the background of the film? Pilar Palomero: The film is not autobiographical, but a lot of my childhood experiences have flown into Las Niñas. A few years ago, when I was thinking about making a film about my education, I found my notebook from my religion class in grade 6. I read an essay, which is exactly the one that appears in the film, where the nun explains the girls sexuality. At the first moment I laughed at the thought of what kind of education we got but then I started to realise how contradictory it was. It was 1992 and they were talking to us about sexuality, chastity and only having sex in the marriage...

Between uproars and spa days

Hong Kong, July 28, 2019. Screaming, tear gas, gunfire. One, two, retreat from the front line, push forward. We are in the midst of Hong Kong's protests and uprisings last summer. We march with the masses, hiding behind the shields, seeing our comrades shouting commands, keeping moving, fainting, being carried away. Everything is chaotic and frightening, but still organized and controlled. For 15 minutes I hold my breath, my heart is racing and at the same time keeps skipping beats. It is suffocating. Incredibly suffocating to experience a day of the Hong Kong riots so close. In my holiday-influenced July, I did hear and read about the situation, but unfortunately I didn't learn about it too much. Therefore, it feels even more extreme to be thrown into this moment at the beginning of the 14+ Short Film Roll 2. Despite the brevity of the film, one arrives immediately within the scene. The camera fits seamlessly into the group dynamics. Everyone around is too busy to shy away ...
