摘要

摘要:《Batería》(2016)是一部纪录片短片,告诉了哈瓦那郊区一个“秘密”地方——一座古老的军事堡垒——男同性恋者在这里秘密发生性关系的故事。纪录片的细微之处在于导演达米安·塞恩斯的风格能力,他通过主角的声音讲述故事来构建故事,以确保参与者的匿名性。在这种明显脆弱的叙事中,塞恩斯奠定了坚实的电影基础。其结果是《Batería》,这是一部视觉纪录片,充满了一个废弃的地方、涂鸦、壁画、声音和无形的存在。隐形是一条连接线,让我在它的镜头下思考这部纪录片。隐形,通常被认为是一种负面特征,它埋葬、边缘化和否定了LGBTQ+主体的空间,尽管它缺乏,但它可能会让——而且已经让——许多人的生命付出代价。因此,我的观点是,重新评估隐形性——通常被酷儿学术作品视为负面的,或者被视为为了通过社会知名度实现更好的生活而需要克服的问题——以引发道德对话。这些学术对话不会是决定性的,但在某种程度上,从某种意义上说,从学院的角度来看,这些对话为此事带来了某种批判性的正义,因为很多时候,涉及LGBTQ+社区成员的凶杀案都没有法律正义。

Invisible Presences: The Aesthetics of Damián Sainz in Batería
Abstract:Batería (2016) is a short documentary movie that tells the story of a "secret" place—an old military fort located on the outskirts of Havana—where gay men meet for clandestine sexual encounters. The nuance of the documentary is the stylistic ability of director Damián Sainz to construct through the stories told via voice-off of the protagonists to ensure the anonymity of the participants. In that apparent fragility of the narrative, Sainz builds up a solid filmic foundation. The result is Batería, a visual documentary full of an abandoned place, graffiti, murals, sounds, and invisible presences.Invisibility is a connecting thread that leads me to consider the documentary under its lens. Invisibility, often presented as a negative feature that buries, marginalizes, and negates space for the LGBTQ+ subject, as much as it lacks, nevertheless, it can cost—and has cost—the lives of many. Therefore, what I am positing, is a reevaluation of invisibility—often seen as negative by queer academic production, or as something to be overcome in order to achieve a better life through social visibility—in order to spark ethical conversations. These academic conversations won't be definitive but, in some way, and from the academy, bring some sort of critical justice to the matter, as too many times there is no legal justice for homicide cases involving members of the LGBTQ+ community.
