As part of the 16th edition of the Urban Films
Festival organized by the association RStyle,
and to be held in Paris which will take place from 7 to 10 October 2021, the association launches its call for entries until June 30,2021.
What is the urban film ? : ”Films devoted to the city and to all the practices and ways of life that come from it. Through urban films, true stories, whether somber or funny, find their common denominator in their scenery: the street, from Seoul to Rio, and passing by Seattle or Ouagadougou. The urban movies rediscover the city in a broad sense: history, dance, movement, community, streets cultures, sports, all of the aspects of the city and urban cultures are represented.”
MISSION
Imperfectu. International Film and Gender Studies Festival, creates reflections based on film, diverse artistic and academic proposals, individual and organizational experiences, and social movements, in order to generate an interdisciplinary analysis that impacts commonly widespread approaches to gender.
WHAT IS IMPERFECTU?
With the word “imperfectu” we give new value to the concept of imperfection, against the overvalued concept of perfection. The ending “-tu” avoids the use of spanish language gender morpheme (imperfecto/imperfecta) in the adjective of the noun “imperfection”, while referring to the spanish pronoun “tú” (you) in order to intervene in the relationship with those who read us, alluding them/you in the word: Imperfectu. This play on words then continues and extends between English and Spanish: I’m perfect u, Imperfect u, or I’m perfectu. “Imperfectu” is a proposed adjective that seeks to identify those who have been positioned outside the norm because they somehow transgress the binary system of sex, gender, and heteronormativity.
Imperfectu. International Film and Gender Studies Festival explores, through film, art, and gender studies, the infinite possibilities that the fields of sex, gender, and sexuality offer us, questioning the convictions to which the standardized system of gender and sexual normativity limit us.
The festival implements an analysis and multiple reflections that affect the representations commonly disseminated with respect to gender. The proposal defends the diversity of identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations, while encompassing varied and alternative feminisms.
Imperfectu was born in the city of Tijuana the first days of April 2014 with the idea of consolidating an annual meeting with local, national, and international representation, by the end of July 2015 it returns with a second edition, and in 2016 travels to Mexico City for its third edition.
In 2017, the fourth edition will be held in Tijuana, Mexico, from November 16 to the 18. This edition of Imperfectu will have as its central axis the relationship between Body, Science, and Technology. The objective is to bring interested audiences a programing that showcases cinema that has been and is being made surrounding various topics, such as: postgenderism, cyberfeminism, cyborg anthropology, disability and transhumanism, the intersex body and medicine, the transgender body and medicine, gender / sexuality and robots, the future of contraceptive methods, eugenics, girls / young women and new technologies, queer/cyborg identity and aesthetics, rejuvenation technology, and immortality.
