Summary
Contemporary documentary and queer theories converge in this study about the mise-en-scène of auteur documentaries produced over the past fifteen years. Focusing on The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye (Marie Losier, 2011) and in other four films made between 2022 and 2024: Anhell69 (Theo Montoya, 2022), Orlando, ma biographie politique (Paul B. Preciado, 2023), ASOG (Seán Devlin, 2023), and Desire Lines (Jules Rosskam, 2024), an unequal sample that understands gender as “performative”. That the filmic form of these works conveys the queer experience to the mise-en-scène, subverting binary and cisheteropatriarchal norms. These films dislocate the portrayal of the Other to integrate it into a shared “multitude,” challenging hegemonic norms surrounding gender. The study examines how these films establish a queer discourse and aesthetics through a hybrid and performative documentary form, with common elements such as the embodiment of subjectivity, archival work, and a dreamlike dimension. Nevertheless, the five films reflect dissidences linked to their temporal, geographical, and authorial disparities. These works increasingly establish queer and “countersexual” forms, sometimes hermetic, which may limit their political potential. As an initial approach, this study explores new ways of analysing a cinema characterized by great richness and creativity.

Summary
Who has not ever sat down to hear their grandparents’ stories? Tiro porque me toca is a documentary animated short film that retrieves and highlights the tales of three elderly characters that bring us to mid-twentieth century’s city of Compostela. Through play, that arises in the film as a vehicle for the intergenerational transmission of memory, we reach their daily past life anecdotes, full of humor.

Summary
During the summer of the year 2000, Real Club Celta de Vigo participates in a european competition to win a qualification entry to the UEFA Cup: this competition is called the Intertoto Cup, nowadays this tournament has dissapeared. During that summer, the galician club made its way into the final and won the cup in Saint Petersburg against Zenit. But it wasn’t the only winner that year, this is because there were multiple winner for each edition of the competition. Both VfB Stuttgart from Germany and Udinese Calcio from Italy also secured the title. That´s the reason why there is controversy arround wether or not the Intertoto Cup is even official or prestigious. In this research documentary we will investigate arround this matter, and we’ll be discusing how important it was at the moment. We will also analize about the evolution of its perception as years went by until today. Also, we’ll be doing a historical review of the golden years of the club until the 2000’s to compare it afterwards with the status and situation of Celta de Vigo nowadays, so that we can understand the importance of this achievement. The final objective is to give an answer to the following question: ¿Does Real Club Celta de Vigo have an official european title? And, if that’s the case, ¿Is it the only galician men’s football club that has won an official european title?
