On Oct. 18, 2019, just as tensions amid the Chilean protests throughout Santiago began to boil over, the final performance of Cabaret Travesía Travesti ended and with it a personal era for filmmaker Nicolás Videla; one filled with vibrant expression, tumultuous relationships, and love. “Travesti Odyssey” is Videla’s dig through the time capsule, a documentary reflecting on a chapter drenched in hilarity and sensitivity, and one shown through the scratchy lens of Mini Dv and VHS memories.
In addition to chronicling the performances, “Travesti Odyssey” takes the appropriate space to view difficulties behind the scenes, whether born of disagreements or oppression, and speaks truth to identity. The film has been nominated for the Beeld en Geluid IDFA ReFrame Award and will show in the Luminous section of the festival. It is a co-production between Videla’s Cinespecie and La Madre (Nicole Bonilla) in Chile.
Variety spoke to Videla ahead of his documentary’s premiere at IDFA.
