GUARDAMI
Reflections around desire and disability
Presentation of the project Pier and the short film Look@me
Pierluigi Lenzi and director Teresa Sala talk with Valeria Alpi
The sexuality of people with disabilities remains a topic that is often hidden and fraught with prejudice. How can we address it by freeing ourselves from the most common stereotypes? This question is answered by the audiovisual project by independent director Teresa Sala and Pierluigi Lenzi, poet and activist with disabilities.
A documentary and a short fiction film that are both an affirmation and a provocation. Pier takes us inside his desires, explores cruising (the search for sexual encounters in public places), and works as a camboy for fun and to be seen and desired.
He does so by talking about himself, discovering the pleasure of being watched and flirting with the camera. Pier is the affirmation of an existence that reiterates the need for a new way of looking, conceiving, and narrating.

Teresa Sala was born in Milan in 1987 under the sign of Chernobyl. After studying Cinema and Theater at the University of Milan, she graduated in Filmmaking from the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia – Lombardy branch in 2013. Restless and curious, she mainly focuses on documentaries, but likes to experiment with new forms and content: fiction, commercials, installations, video dance, photography, etc. She loves cinema but has a long-standing relationship with transfeminist and queer activism, occasionally flirts with performance art and Debordian drift, and occasionally winks at alternative pornography.
Her films have been presented at international festivals, winning numerous awards. She always hopes to run away with the circus.
