Cinema Tropical is pleased to exclusively premiere the poster for London, the debut feature by Brazilian filmmakers Victor Di Marco and Márcio Picoli, ahead of its World Premiere in the Feature Film Competition of the Venice Film Festival’s International Critics’ Week, taking place September 2–12.
A queer drama exploring disability, desire, and autonomy, London centers on its title character, a disabled young adult who has built his life around fierce independence. He works as a dominant at a fetish house alongside his friends Luke and Lilá. When a medical consultation offers London the opportunity to better understand his body and disability through an exam, he faces an unexpected dilemma: while he craves answers, he fears that a diagnosis could reduce his identity to a clinical label and threaten the independence he has fought to build.
The 90-minute Brazilian feature marks the debut feature by Di Marco and Picoli, a filmmaking duo from Porto Alegre whose previous collaborations include the acclaimed shorts Victor’s Body (2020), Bittersweet Power (2022), and Zagêro (2024). Their work has screened at more than 200 festivals and received over 70 awards in Brazil and internationally.
Di Marco, who also stars in the film, is a queer and disabled filmmaker, actor, and screenwriter who has been an outspoken activist against ableism. Picoli is a queer filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer who began his filmmaking career after working as a lawyer. Together, the filmmakers have developed a body of work centered on disability, sexuality, identity, and the body.
London stars Victor Di Marco, Jéssica Teixeira, Pedro Bertoldi, Priscilla Colombi, Carla Cassapo, Manu Thedy, and Emilio Farias. The film is produced by Laura Moglia, Márcio Picoli, Aline Gutierres, and Victor Di Marco, with Proa & Popa Produções and Balde de Tinta Produções.
London will have its World Premiere in the Feature Film Competition of the 2026 Venice Film Festival’s International Critics’ Week. International sales are handled by The Open Reel.
