(Lucía Puenzo, Argentina / Spain / France, 2007, 86’)
ICA CINEMA 1
Wednesday 12 March 9PM
Winner: Cannes International Critic's Grand Prix 2007
"Its sensitive treatment of an equally sensitive theme elevates it into something memorable." - Variety.com
Alex (Inés Efron) is a young hermaphrodite child who flees with her family to Uruguay, only to encounter increasing prejudice amongst the community in which they attempt to settle. Alex’s romance with the all too willing neighbourhood kid Alvaro (Martín Piroyansky), causes tensions amongst the locals. However, as the parents battle it out to instil a sense of open-mindedness amongst their society, it is the children who prove themselves flexible in their understanding the sexual complexities of others.
Lucía Puenzo was born in Buenos Aires and has a Ph.D. in Argentine literature and critical theory from the University of Buenos Aires. She has written three novels and several television scripts, and directed a short film, The Invisibles, in 2004. XXY is her feature film directorial debut.
The Q&A will be hosted by Dave Calhoun - film editor, Time Out
screening in partnership with Peccadillo Pictures
