Who owns the Sky

Amidst debates about gender identities and social norms, a documentary film unfolds that illuminates the connections between gender concepts, cis-heteronormative structures, colonialism, and capitalism. Through interviews with activists from Argentina and Switzerland, as well as performances by the art activism project "die grosse um_ordnung," ("the big re_organization) the body is placed at the center of the discussion as a political instrument. The film offers an intersectional approach that examines the complexity of social attributions and their impact on individuals and communities.

In November of the same year, the film was awarded the prize for best documentary at the Orchid Lesbian Film Festival in Buenos Aires.
