A bird called memory
directed by Leonard Martinelli, UK / Brazil 2022, 14'
A musical about Lua, a transgender woman who loses her bird on the streets of Rio de Janeiro — a city that can often be hostile to trans people. As Lua searches for Memory, we encounter streets full of contradictions, oppression and resistance. When Lua begins singing songs from musicals she once watched with Memory, music and cinema become spaces of resistance and hope.
