A tender debut film about a relationship that is falling apart, like the mobile phone on which the audiovisual memories of that first love were stored.

Malqueridas
by Tana Gilbert
Chile, Germany, 2023, 75 min., Spanish with English subtitles
They are women. They are mothers. They are prisoners serving long sentences in a correctional facility in Chile. Their children grow up far from them, but remain in their hearts. In prison, they find affection in other partners who share their situation. Mutual support among these women becomes a form of resistance and empowerment. Malqueridas builds their stories through images captured by them with cell phones inside the prison, recovering the collective memory of a forgotten community.

Followed by a Q&A with director Tana Gilbert

This screening is the sixth part of OS MUTANTES series at WORM. Inspired by Theresa Villaverde’s film of the same name, we use the concept of the mutant as a way to reframe growing up as a transformative process, rather than the typical "coming of age" narrative that often feels focused on individual success and self-improvement. The series includes films by Catharine Breillat, Lucrecia Martel, Paul B. Preciado, Wang Bing, and many others.

Cineville valid at the door.
