Thresholds (1980)

Marie Louise Alemann's distinctive filmmaking is showcased in her challenging film set in Buenos Aires. An artist who favored Super8, she developed a unique aesthetic often involving her own on-screen performances. Alemann’s work emphasizes physical sensations and the importance of the body, challenging conventions in both form and subject matter. *Umbrales*, a key work by Alemann, is a significant film in Latin American queer cinema. Its unconventional approach draws viewers into a unique world where identity and experience are explored through her signature visual style. The artist's personal presence on screen guides us through a journey that questions how we understand the body and its connection to self-expression.
