Patricio Mosse
Patricio Mosse was born in Buenos Aires into a multicultural family with a remarkable history. His Greek father and Polish mother came from families that entered Buenos Aires clandestinely, fleeing World War II. A triplet with seven siblings, Patricio grew up surrounded by stories of resilience and cultural crossings, which inspired his passion for storytelling.
He initially studied Computer Science in Buenos Aires, combining his logical and creative sides before fully immersing himself in the arts. Eager to explore different lives and worlds, he traveled across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, living in the U.S., France, Israel, Germany, and Spain. Cinema became his chosen medium to share his stories, leading him to study photography, theater, clowning, scriptwriting, and directing.
His first short-film, Lorenza’s Bike (2021), was made in Berlin and has been selected among others at Festival Internacional de cine de Huesca and L.A. Shorts International Film Festival. He followed it with Radzyn (2021), Seed (2022, in the official selection of Festival du Court Métrage de Clermont Ferrand, informative section), Baba (2023), and Warsaw (2023) in Madrid, where he completed a Master’s in Film Direction. His latest short, Jordan (2024), marks a new milestone as he works on his first feature film.

Director statement
Set against the cultural mosaic of Berlin, we follow Jordan, a charismatic 9-year-old intersex child. The narrative is centered around Jordan’s experience of being forced to undergo a premature medical procedure shortly after birth due to societal and medical bias. This surgery necessitates Jordan to make a choice between artificial male or female hormones, a decision no child should be forced to confront. By following Jordan’s journey, we aim to shed light on the overlooked struggle that many intersex children face, forced by a binary-centric society to fit into categories that don’t necessarily align with their true selves.
At its core, “Jordan” is a plea for change. It implores society to expand its understanding of human bodies beyond a limiting binary perspective, advocating for every child’s right to determine their own identity without unnecessary medical interventions. Intersex children are healthy, unique, and whole as they are, without needing to be ‘fixed’ or ‘normalized’. They deserve the opportunity to make decisions about their bodies when they’re ready.
We aspire to raise awareness on the cause of intersex children, and amplify their voices in the ongoing conversation about gender and body diversity.
