UNITED STATES PREMIERE
Dreadful and gory killings create panic in the queer community: a semen thirsty killer is on the loose and nobody is safe. In this humorous and provocative gem, Ion de Sosa creates an alternative present in which the surreal takes the lead to narrate yet another threat that the LGBTQIA+ community needs to face. In an alternative present of brutalist saunas, endless metro corridors and trench-coated hat-wearing detectives, each of Mamántula's lovers falls victim to his insatiable lust for blood and semen; a thread in the stellar web he's weaving to return to the dimension where he belongs. Savvily playing with genres from noir through to sci-fi, Mamántula explores cinematic queerness at its most compelling.
