The festival
Films expand our perception of the world and thus contribute to social change!
The PRIDE PICTURES Queer Film Festival Karlsruhe developed from the
Lesbian-Gay Film Days, which were founded in 1994. Since 2015, the
film festival has been organised by the non-profit association PRIDE PICTURES.
Now one of the largest queer film festivals in Germany, the week-long festival traditionally the end of October shows current international feature films, documentaries and legendary short film programmes. The accompanying festival programme consists of film discussions with filmmakers, the festival party and a high-calibre panel discussion. The films come to us in many different ways. Some of them are submitted by filmmakers or film distributors, sometimes festival members find the films at other festivals such as the Berlinale. The festival offers a forum for a socially committed film culture that is worthy of discussion and sophisticated film culture. The venue is the Kinemathek and Schauburg Karlsruhe, whose staff provide us with logistical, technical and conceptual support. The association also organises special screenings in collaboration with other queer associations.

On her road trip across the USA, she forces a car break to a rest in a small provincial nest, which causes a big vertebra there.

It gets really hot in the cinema. A spectrum of explicit, erotic encounters: sometimes delicate, sometimes passionate and sometimes with a lot of humor. We celebrate female* bodies, accompany cruising men in the forest and a plumber in the darkroom, caress different skin colours with their eyes and let you experience a climax with a thermal imaging camera.

Andrzej Szwan is Poland's oldest drag queen named Lulla La Polaca. At the age of 82, he is still full of drive and does not fit in any drawer. He wants to celebrate, dance and find the love of his life. BOYLESQUE is a loving and energetic portrait of an icon that inspires us to enjoy life to the fullest.
If one follows the cosmic principle, everything in the world has a necessary counterpoint. This concerns the energies of the sexes, young and old, light and shadow, grief and happiness ... On some downside one could well do without, another surprises you positively. We put on our colorful socks and seek luck in the round about Yin and Yang.
