Internacional gay, lesbic and transexual Film Festival

 

Many Fiction, Documentary and Experimental films from all over the world are exhibited in DIVERSA, all of them in 11 days and in 2 theaters.

The first edition of this festival was made on the year 2004, being the first festival of these characteristics in Latin America, and the only one in Argentina even nowadays, achieving in short time a position as the most important one of the region with international projection.

The most of the films presented were never exhibited in the country, and perhaps even in the continent. Besides this international productions, within our program there’s a great emphasis in national and Latin American productions. So DIVERSA is an unique way of expression with no precedence.

The selection criteria is focused in the points of view from which these stories are told, trying to gather the works that are closer to the GLTBI reality, with interesting contents, emotional impact, and optimum cinematographic quality. No pornography is exhibited.
