Lise Pedersen Berlin Silver Bear winner Manuel Abramovich (“Blue Boy,” 2019) is presenting his new project “The Monsters” at Swiss doc festival Visions du Réel’s Industry event, VdR-Pitching.The project, he tells Variety, “is about one of the first characters that we play in our lives which is gender, as a performative fiction with our bodies.
From the moment we are born we have two scripts already written for us: either you are a man or a woman. This is about people who chose not to play this binary role.”One of Argentina’s fastest rising auteurs, Abramovich explores what he calls the “theatricality in everyday life” in his films.
A festival regular, he presented his debut feature-length doc “Solar” at the VdR-Work in Progress forum back in 2015. “In my work, I see the world as a big mise-en-scène – like a theater play.
So I invite real people to become characters and reflect about this shift from being someone to playing a character.” The director plans on inviting 10 adults and 10 children, all trans and non-binary, in a setting which he describes as “an empty space with no physical references, like a theater or studio, and no time references, like a laboratory, to create a film together where we can write a new future, a world with other norms, or no norms,” he says.
