THE SALT MINES, dirs. Carlos Aparicio & Susana Aikin, 47 min, 1990
THE TRANSFORMATION, dirs. Carlos Aparicio & Susan Aikin, 58 min, 1995
In THE SALT MINES, Sara, Gigi, and Giovanna, have made their temporary home inside broken garbage trucks next to the salt deposits used to melt the winter snow. They support their drug addictions through prostitution, and live with a varied community of homeless people until the place is closed and sealed by the city, forcing everyone to disperse. THE TRANSFORMATION follows Ricardo (formerly Sara) and the changes he undergoes after discovering he is HIV+ and deciding that he is not going to die on the streets. He accepts help from a group of born again Christians who in exchange demand his complete transformation to a heterosexual man.
