About this Event
In collaboration with the Bigas Luna Tribute
A bold and visually striking work from Catalan filmmaker Bigas Luna, My Name is Juani pulses with his signature blend of eroticism, hedonism, and biting irony. Following Juani, a restless hypermarket cashier eager to break free from her stifling surroundings, the film is a raw and provocative exploration of ambition, desire, and self-reinvention. True to Luna’s style, it brims with energy, provocation, and the grotesque—hallmarks of his work since his debut, Tattoo.
