At 18:00, the screening of SLEPA PEGA \/ Blind Spot by Hanna A. W. Slak <\/strong>(SLO, 2002, col., 87\u2019). \u201cNo human being can live without interacting with society\u2026\u201d To save her brother from addiction, a woman isolates him from the world, unknowingly unleashing dark secrets capable of overwhelming them both.

This TSFF BOOKS event falls also within the \u201cConnessioni” with the collaboration of the Comunit\u00e0 Croata di Trieste. What was it like, at the edge of the world, when the Adriatic was the North Sea? How did the civilization we now call Europe come about? Who were the Liburnians, whose sky was a woman? How is it possible that the first cat arrived in the Adriatic on the same boat that carried the alphabet and urban planning? Back on the Teatro Miela main screen, at 20:00, with the Queer Visions section and the screening of ARKOUDOTRYPA \/ Bearcave by Stergios Dinopoulos and Krysianna B. Papadakis (GR – UK, 2025, col., 132\u2019 ). A mystical cave, a nettle pie and an unexpected betrayal spur a romantic adventure between two childhood friends. Bearcave premiered at the 2025 Giornate degli Autori, Venice and has been shortlisted at EFA 2026. <\/p>\n\n Closing the day at 22:30, two more films from the section, beginning with the world premiere of TATUAJE \/ Tatuaggio by Kamil Dobrosielski (PL, 2025-2026, col., 7\u2019): set in a tattoo studio in Medell\u00edn, Sandro, a non-binary artist and rapper, sits down to get a new tattoo. As the needle moves across their skin, Sandro recalls their past: the murder of their brother, the years of anger and violence that followed, and the moment of transformation that came in prison. Subsequently, the Italian debut of ENDLESS by Wojciech Pus\u0301 (PL – DE – F, 2024, col.,110\u2019). \u201cWe made it out to the other side. With Endless we are reclaiming the right to tell our own stories with our own voice and from the perspective of people who actually went through events shown in the film. We are the Monsters, who can finally speak for themselves\u201d. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Monday\u2019s TSFF is an early bird: the day starts at 9:00 with REFRAMING EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVALS: TRANSITIONAL HISTORIES, CULTURES AND IDENTITIES, the symposium by Gruppo di lavoro Consulta Universitaria del Cinema \u201cFestival ed eventi cinematografici\u201d in collaboration with Trieste Film Festival, Universit\u00e0 Ca\u2019 Foscari, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Bari \u201cAldo Moro\u201d and Alma Mater Studiorum […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11356,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
