CGiii Comment

“Fuck the Cistem” accompanies Noa in search of dealing with one’s own experiences of discrimination. We immerse slice-of-life-like in the everyday life of a non-binary person between microaggressions, paragraph jungle and birthday party. A film about queer resilience, solidarity and being angry.


In Noas queerer Bubble ist dey ­glücklich und sicher. Doch ein Heimweg in der Nacht lässt die Angst vor Diskriminierung und ­ Gewalt aufleben. Verdrängt am Tag, kehren die Gefühle als Albträume zurück. Slice-of-Life-artig erleben wir den Alltag einer nicht-binären Person zwischen Mikroaggressionen, Paragraphendschungel und Geburtstagsfeier. FUCK THE CISTEM ist ein visuell starker Film über die Widerstandskraft, den ­ Zusammenhalt und die Wut der queeren Community.
