This selection of queer shorts sets classic images of sexuality and bodies in motion. Self-confident, lively and powerful and at the same time sensitive, reflective and curious these films go their own paths of storytelling.
Techno, Mama

Techno is Berlin. Berlin is techno. This is exactly where Nikita wants to go, away from his cold-hearted mother, to the big city, to his father and straight into Berghain. Putting his plan into action is going to be harder than he thought.

A Minotaur appears, blurs, dissolves, and takes on new forms. As shapes and sounds intermingle, the boundaries of masculinity and femininity are explored and broken up.

Atopia

“Where to flow with all my liquidity?” Somewhere between reality and fantasy lies Atopia, a place where everyone has a place and the sexes are fluent. In a very personal video essay gender identities are being explored.

No Yes Babe

A second date after six months in a wintry park. Between two trees, the two feel their way towards each other, try to get to know one another without being predictable and to surrender without losing control. The result is an intimate encounter of a very unique nature.

An experimental video essay that combines found footage with the filmmaker’s personal experiences and thought processes to negotiate sexuality in its own unique way. The result is a self-reflexive study of the history and present of pornography and sexual representation.
