São Marino

2022 · 20 min

A quiet, thoughtful documentary that blends historical reflection with intimate conversation, inviting gentle contemplation on identity and faith.

Directed by
Leide Jacob
Starring
Padre Júlio Lancellotti, Ariel Nobre, Daniel Veiga
Overview
Father Julio Lancellotti tells the story of Marino, a transmasculine person who lived in the sixth century, in Lebanon, and who, after his death, was canonized as Santa Marina, considered, by progressive sectors of the Catholic church, the protector of gender identity. With scenes, reflections and interactions of a transmasculine group, the film promotes sensitive contemporary discussions about, for example, respect for the social name, resignifying Santa Marina into São Marino.
