Operation Travesti(2024)

Operation Travesti is a documentary that explores Daniel Melero's landmark 1992 film Travesti through multiple lenses. The film weaves together behind-the-scenes production secrets, a retrospective performance staged 25 years after the original release, and the unconventional career trajectory of its visionary director. Rather than a straightforward retrospective, Operation Travesti functions as a layered portrait—part archival record, part contemporary reflection—that captures the entropy and creative chaos surrounding both the film's making and its enduring legacy. Melero emerges as a transverse artist whose work defied easy categorization, and the documentary honors that complexity by refusing conventional narrative structure. The result is an intimate examination of artistic vision, cultural impact, and the passage of time in Argentine cinema.
