“Cabalerno” is a documentary-style short film that was shot in a Latino neighborhood of New York City. The film was an official selection in 2007 at film festivals in the United States and around the world (including film festivals in Australia, Barcelona, Brazil, Canada and Germany). “Cabalerno” was the winner of “The Best Short Film” for Season Two on LOGO Television.
“Cabalerno” reveals the unspoken suffering of a withdrawn and awkward Latino young teenager, who appears to be attempting to begin coming to terms with some of his uncomfortable erotic attractions to others. The younger teen gets caught pointing his video camera at an older, handsome and muscular skateboarder on New York’s Lower East Side, with whom he is infatuated. Confronted with his video filming by the older teenager, he suffers both embarrassment and fears of possible public humiliation. However, after an initial awkwardness, the two fellows must cope with their unanticipated, dissonant feelings.
This piece includes a number of photographs, as well as the very touching acclaimed short film, “Cabalerno.”
