Mordred Guadagno

HAIR TRAILS

A great long braid becomes the guiding thread of this poetic short film. It begins on the edge of the world in Norway, where the mountains and the ocean awaken a voice hidden in the strands of hair. That voice leads the storyteller back to another edge of the world at home – the ancestral lands of South Estonia, a branch of roots only recently revealed.
When hair begins to speak, what will you dare to ask?

DOCUMENTARIES
GUI HUA

China 00:11:00
Guihua is a gay man who grew up in a small, conservative city in central China, where he was hesitant to express his sexual orientation. His studies allowed him to move to Shanghai, where he was exposed to drag performances. His unique stage presence, personal charisma, and positive attitude quickly made him a rising star in the underground q***r community. On stage, he was adored; off stage, however, he suffered from an unstable life and tense family relationships.
