Antibodies

Directed by Santo B. Carneiro

A short film inspired by the director's personal experience with queerness. Gender and heterosexuality always felt like something he had to perform in a certain way to be accepted by those around him. Through this film, he aims to portray queerness as natural and normalised, contrasting it with the highly performative and unnatural heteronormative ideals, taking it to the extreme by adding body horror elements to the dark comedy.
