Panorama - Against the Grain

Amusement Park Ricardo Alves Jr.

In Belo Horizonte, Brazil, anonymous faces stroll furtively through the city, looking for a night of ephemeral pleasure. A colourful amusement park is transformed into a playground where unbridled freedom defies social norms in the middle of a public space. Amusement Park, an underground fiction with a performance feel, features a cast of professional and non-professional queer actors, who together explore this microcosm where bodies, devoid of all modesty, let themselves be guided solely by their libido. In a country recently marked by the rollback of minority rights, filmmaker Ricardo Alves Jr. responds to society's conservative climate with a cry for emancipation and a sensual ode to a marginalized community.
