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. These stories are recreated by drawing on family photo archive and animation. The latter aims to generate an attractive narrative for all audiences, appealing especially to children. Based on this premise, Tiro porque me toca sets a main goal: addressing the personal and family memory in order to promote the record and the preservation of these stories, that contribute to build the collective memory and the immaterial heritage of Santiago de Compostela. Apart from the creative proposal, the project is completed with a theorical approach in which different related to documentary film creation are analyzed.

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.
