<\/p>\nLife is a grand stage for theater\u2013just as Aunt Juli lives hers. She sings, the fire of her life flares, she dances, the colors of her day are vibrant. Inevitably, silence settles in when the curtains close and the feet stop stomping. That was the case when Aunt Juli passed away.<\/p>\n
DUST (Nicol\u00e1s Torchinsky, 2023) is a biopic that remembers July Regina (formerly Julio Romero) as a man, a transgender artist, and a woman. In its 73-minute duration, director Torchinsky attempts to highlight how Aunt Juli\u2019s close relatives, in their slow hand gestures, remove her belongings from the rooms and spaces that once belonged to her and smelled like her. Nothing. Aunt Juli is legendary, she is remembered and will long be remembered\u2013from a homosexual man without parents, to a \u201cdragon\u201d incarnate in the form of a woman.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leaving dust in its wake, Aunt Juli\u2019s living spaces gradually fade. The objects packed in boxes and plastic were silent witnesses to Aunt Juli’s bustling life. One story after another is recited, from one relative\u2019s mouth to another\u2019s ear. Director Torchinsky delivers DUST (2023) in a quiet, somber tone. Aunt Juli\u2019s existential transformation creates ripples in the water of life around her. Cigarette cases, faded photographs, party dresses, jewelry, beads, ceramics… Aunt Juli\u2019s belongings seem to embody a scream.<\/p>\n
Julio Romero and July Regina, at every step of their lives, presented their proof of life: their becoming as human beings and as women. Aunt Juli is all of us\u2013born from the dust, made her mark on the grand stage as a queen, and then returned to ashes. Through the noises and whispers of relatives, listen to the recreation of Aunt Juli\u2019s life echo in International Feature-Length Competition FFD 2024. (Athallah, Tuffahati) (Ed. Vanis) (Trans.
