Two short films

Yesterday, I went to Castillo de Albalat dels Sorells, which currently hosts the Town Council, to see two short films dedicated to LGBT pride. A man in a white shirt approached me and introduced himself. “I am a mayor”, he said. “Welcome.” Obviously, in all the gathering I was the only new face for him.

Before the screening, the mayor (named Nicolau) greeted everybody in Valencian and councillor of Ayuntamiento de Albalat Javi González read the LGBT+ manifest. The projection was followed by tertulia (here’s my chance to use the word I learned this month) led by Luisa Notario, city councillor of Ayuntamiento de Valencia, and Eley Grey, a teacher and writer. As the discussion was in a mix of Spanish and Valencian, I understood about 70% of it. After that, we were offered ice-cold horchata with fartons. Nice.
