Lemebel
Neighboring Scenes: New Latin American Cinema
February 14 - 18, 2020
With unprecedented access and footage, and an uncanny resonance with the recent political upheaval in Chile, Joanna Reposi Garibaldi’s documentary about writer and visual artist Pedro Lemebel is an intimate and poetic journey through the controversial artist’s risky performances dealing with homosexuality and human rights.
Q&A with Joanna Reposi Garibaldi
All ticket holders are invited to an Opening Night reception following the screening at the Furman Gallery.
A pioneering queer writer and visual artist who shook up conservative Chilean society during Pinochet’s dictatorship in the 1980s, Pedro Lemebel worked on a film about his own work during the last eight years of his life. Unfortunately, he was never able to complete the film before his death from cancer in 2015. With unprecedented access and footage from that unfinished project, Joanna Reposi Garibaldi’s documentary details the risk-taking, confrontational performance art that defined this extraordinary figure, whose work advocated for human rights, and which speaks to the recent political upheaval in Chile.
