Thresholds (1980)

Marie Louise Alemann, who died in February 2015, was an experimental filmmaker based in Buenos Aires. She worked on Super8 and developed a bold yet enigmatic style, frequently performing in her own films, and emphasising physical sensations and the primacy of the body. In the words of curator Federico Windhausen, her Umbrales ‘deserves to be seen as a major work of Latin American queer cinema’.
