The plot explores the tension between social labels and personal construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Di Marco explained that the goal is to portray a character with a disability from a position of power and attractiveness, breaking with the violent or limiting vision that often predominates on the big screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The directors emphasized that the film is not about disability itself, but rather is narrated from the perspective of a person with a disability, highlighting that this condition is just a characteristic and does not define the character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picoli noted that the biggest challenge was \u201cconvincing the system\u201d of the importance of portraying disability differently, in a society that tends to classify and label people constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The film\u2019s presence in Venice gives the community visibility, though the filmmakers clarified that they do not seek to represent the entire queer and disabled community, but rather to offer a perspective that portrays disability as positive and successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project was developed over almost a decade, reflecting the difficulties the Brazilian film industry faces in sustaining productions. Picoli called for greater institutional stability and public support for Brazilian cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>teleSUR: JP<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Source: EFE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: teleSUR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brazilian film &ldquo;London,&rdquo; directed by Victor Di Marco and Marcio Picoli, was presented at the International Critics&rsquo; Week of the 83rd Venice Film Festival as a film that challenges&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12972,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[8],"class_list":["post-12971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cultural"],"authors":[{"term_id":8,"user_id":1,"is_guest":0,"slug":"yolaunicaquehay","display_name":"RRebeldeAdminWP","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e6145d63ff95c9a0f0e53b7149804b1faf86748d6cc15f466103269a288ea377?s=96&d=mm&r=g","author_category":"","user_url":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english","last_name":"Radio Rebelde","first_name":"WebMaster","job_title":"","description":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12971"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12971\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12973,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12971\/revisions\/12973"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12971"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=12971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
