Los Javis – the Spanish duo shaking up the Oscar race with “La Bola Negra”
If you love a good story that blends bold visuals, heartfelt drama and unapologetic queer storytelling, you’ll want to keep an eye on Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo—better known as Los Javis. The pair, who first captured worldwide attention with the hit series Paquita Salas and the musical‑theatre sensation La Llamada, are now front‑and‑center in the 2024 Oscar conversation thanks to their latest film, “La Bola Negra.”
Netflix is giving the movie a selective theatrical rollout across major U.S. markets, and Aurora’s own indie cinemas are on the list. That means you can experience the film on the big screen before it settles into streaming—perfect for a night out with friends or a date at the historic Aurora Cinema Palace.
Why does this matter for Aurora residents aged 25‑55? Our city’s thriving arts scene—think the Aurora Film Festival, local LGBTQ+ panels, and the downtown art walk—has always championed diverse voices. “La Bola Negra” adds a fresh, international perspective to those conversations, spotlighting LGBTQ+ narratives that resonate with our community’s push for inclusion and representation.
So, mark your calendars: the limited‑run screening kicks off next Friday at 7 p.m. Grab your tickets early, share the buzz on social media, and join the conversation with #LosJavis, #LaBolaNegra, and #AuroraFilms. This is one Oscar‑season moment Aurora won’t want to miss.
