‘Thesis on a Domestication’ Trailer: Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna Produced Movie Pushes the Boundaries of Trans Representation (EXCLUSIVE)
Directed by Javier Van de Couter and starring Camila Sosa Villada, the film bows in the Chicago Film Festival’s Outlook strand.
Sosa Villada, Van de Couter, and Huberman worked together on the screenplay, which follows a famous trans actress lunging towards a well-earned, promising future while the smoldering embers of her past continue to shape her in more ways than she can count, her body acting as a conduit of her metamorphosis. The way of life that she managed to earn through her talent also deviates from a more obvious narrative and from a destiny that seems to be written in advance for trans people,” Van de Couter explained. As delicate as it is defiant-at times aspirational, “Thesis on a Domestication” questions the components of a fully satiating life while positing that remaining true to self is the most rewarding act of rebellion against conformity – allowing trans pain, joy, hardship and triumph to take up space simultaneously, unapologetically.
