Blokes

Directed by Marialy Rivas

A child harbors a secret admiration for his neighbor.
Blokes is a beautifully observed Chilean gay short film about teenage longing unfolding beneath the political tension of 1980s Santiago. Marialy Rivas uses windows, courtyards and stolen glances to make distance itself feel romantic, while the historical setting quietly deepens the sense of repression surrounding the boys.
