DESCRIPTION:Set in a rural\, remote Chilean mining town in 1982\, Diego Cé
 spedes’ dazzling debut feature follows young Lidia\, who grows up within
  a vibrant queer household led by drag performers and trans women. When a 
 mysterious illness—rumored to spread through the gaze between men—sows
  fear and hysteria\, the community becomes the target of suspicion and vio
 lence. Through Lidia’s eyes\, Céspedes crafts a haunting allegory of lo
 ve\, myth\, and prejudice that reimagines the early AIDS era as a queer we
 stern with poetic intimacy and desert-dry surrealism.\n\nWinner of the Un 
 Certain Regard Award at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival\, The Mysterious Gaz
 e of the Flamingo recalls the emotional vibrancy of Almodóvar and continu
 es Chile’s proud legacy of queer cinema—marking Céspedes as one of th
 e most exciting new voices in world cinema.
