Description

Set in a remote Chilean mining town in 1982, Diego Céspedes' dazzling debut feature follows young Lidia, who grows up within a vibrant queer household led by drag performers and trans women. When a mysterious illness--rumored to spread through the gaze between men--sows fear and hysteria, the community becomes the target of suspicion and violence. Through Lidia's eyes, Céspedes crafts a haunting allegory of love, myth, and prejudice that reimagines the early AIDS era as a queer western with poetic intimacy and desert-dry surrealism. Chile's Official Submission to the 98th Academy Awards® for Best International Feature Film and winner of the Un Certain Regard Award at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo recalls the emotional vibrancy of Almodóvar and continues Chile's proud legacy of queer cinema--marking Céspedes as one of the most exciting new voices in world cinema.
