Private Project

Gotham

Two queer friends go out to enjoy the nightlife in Volta Redonda, an industrial city where the night has an air of mystery. Despite the filth, noise and pollution emitted by the steel industry located in the center of the city, the two friends show that it is possible to live their LQBTQIAPN+ existences, even in a marginalized way, since their bodies are only allowed to inhabit the night of the city they name like "Gotham".

Director Statement

I am a queer latin american that have been loving cinema since I was a kid, although the desire to make movies showed up when I turned 15 years old. I am from Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, the city I have lived my whole 25 years of life and the city where I shoot my first film "Gotham".
