PANORAMA DOKUMENTE - OFFICIAL SELECTION BONES OF CONTENTION BY ANDREA WEISS Lining the roads of Spain, masked by miles and miles of pine trees, are unmarked graves in which over a hundred twenty thousand victims of the Franco regime are buried. Among them is Spain s most famous poet, Federico García Lorca, who has become the symbol for both the historical memory and LGBT movements. The film explores the unexamined history of LGBT oppression during Spain s fascism regime, and places it within the larger human rights struggle to find some justice for Franco s victims. But how does a country excavate a past that is actively suppressed?
