Frameline49: ‘I’m Your Venus,’ ‘The Nature of Invisible Things,’ ‘Wicket’ And More Win Top Awards


Frameline49, the San Francisco Int'l LGBTQ+ Film Festival, announced awards for 'I'm Your Venus,' ‘The Nature of Invisible Things,’ ‘Wicket’ and More.

Outstanding First Narrative Feature, chosen by the San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle to honor an emerging voice in LGBTQ+ cinema, was awarded to The Nature of Invisible Things (A Natureza das Coisas Invisíveis), directed by Rafaela Camelo. “Beautiful, deep, funny — Brazilian director Rafaela Carmelo has composed an intimate tour de force that begins with two little girls, the daughters of nurse and patient, desperate to be noticed,” wrote the jury. Among the many highlights of this year’s festival was a very timely screening of the documentary Heightened Scrutiny about the battle over United States v Skrmetti, a trans rights Supreme Court case argued last December.
