Cinema Mentiré presents Salome, Salome, Salome bringing together three radically different queer incarnations of the biblical princess across Brazil, Mexico and the UK, with intros by TGirlsOnFilm, Loose Willis and Lola Lemke.
Salome, Salome, Salome opens with the UK premiere of the unashamed sci-fi melodrama rom-com Salome by André Antônio, part of Surto & Deslumbramento, the Brazilian leading queer film collective of the last decade, in a lush, camp creation that relocates the legend to a working-class neighbourhood in the 21st century:
SALOME
Dir. André Antônio, 2024, Brazil, 102min.
📆 Friday, 3rd July, at 8.30pm
🎤 Intro by Jaye Hudson, from TGirlsOnFilm, centring on trans stories, artistry, and film history through moving image, and creating space for trans audiences on and off screen

Cecília, a successful young model, returns to Recife, her hometown, to spend Christmas with her mother. One night, a neighbour she hasn’t seen for a long time, João, shows her a bottle containing a mysterious, intoxicating brat-green substance. Cecília begins to fall in love with João, but also discovers that he is involved in a secret cult centred on the figure of Salome, the luxurious biblical princess.
Check it out also the screenings of Ken Russel’s Salome’s Last Dance on 4 July at the Rio, and Teo Hernández’s Salome on 5 July, wrapping the season at The Garden.
