Iván & Hadoum

If I can implore you to see any film at GAZE this year, don’t let debut feature from Ian De La Rosa pass you by. Winner of the Teddy Award at the Berlinale, these two lovers, one Moroccan, one trans, placed on either side of the picket line at a commercial greenhouse, will lift your hearts and remind you that societal and familial challenges can be overcome by an openness of heart and willingness to learn. Led by remarkable performances from Herminia Loh Moreno and attending actor Silver Chicón, whose cultural and gender identities, refreshingly, never become the pivotal part of the film’s conflict. Set in rural Spain, Ivan & Hadoum feels remarkably close to home in its exploration of contemporary issues, including culture, identity and class.
