Revolutionary Routes: ’On the Go’ as a Queer Feminist Road Movie

Sobre este episódio

<p>This week on #LocarnoMeets, we're joined by filmmakers María Gisèle Roya and Julia De Castro, whose feature debut together "On the Go" premiered in Cineasti del Presente. Theirs is a bold homage to Spanish cinema of the '80s, specifically Gonzalo Garcia Pelayo's "Corridas de la Gria".</p><p>Shot in 16mm, this irreverent and energetic road movie concocts an adventure playground-like narrative around a burnt-out nightclub, the ins and outs of motherhood, and various surreal encounters. Celebrated for its eclectic soundtrack and omnivorous cultural explorations, "On the Go" is a sumptuous cinematic odyssey, enriched and enlivened by its torpedoing, unravelling, and carefree rejigging of a myriad of social issues.</p><p>The film plunges its cast of campy misfits into a vibrant and irrational outer realm, showcasing the directors' gift with blending anything-goes creativity and keen mutual understanding.</p><p> </p><p>Subscribe to <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/media/locarno-meets.html'>Locarno Meets</a> for lively conversations about art, culture life and everything in between with the likes of Lambert Wilson, Ken Loach, Harmony Korine, Marianne Slot, Luc Jacquet, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, and more.</p><p> </p><p>Locarno Meets is a <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/'>Locarno Film Festival</a> original production, brought to you by UBS.</p><p> </p><p>Follow us on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/filmfestlocarno/'>Instagram</a></p><p>Follow us on <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@filmfestlocarno'>TikTok</a></p><p>Subscribe to our <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/extra/newsletter-signup.html'>Newsletter</a></p><p> </p><p>Host: Alexander Miller</p><p>Audio Producer: Jack Boswell</p><p>Video Producer: Claudia Campoli</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
