¿Qué voz hay que tener?
"Poco podría contarles de particular acerca de mi historia si no fuera por los cambios que tuve a partir de mi pubertad. Cambios que en parte todos conocemos, que todos vivimos. Pero a veces la biología hace sus bromas. Y nuestra sociedad tiene bastante poco sentido del humor con ciertas cuestiones."
Con esta frase se nos presenta Andrea que nos llevará por un viaje diferente, por un paisaje actual, espeso. Los estereotipos, las citas, el humor ácido, la reflexión, la identidad, el amor, la muerte y los sueños construyen una obra donde el concepto de género, en sólo 30 minutos, arma un nuevo contrato con el espectador.
Andrea: una voz imborrable para escuchar...como un mar.

Une mère d’origine haïtienne, un jeune camerounais à la maîtrise et une étudiante rwandaise racontent leur cheminement vis-à-vis de l’homosexualité, et la façon dont ils ont choisi d’aller au-delà des apparences et des étiquettes pour découvrir les personnes qui se cachent derrière.
Poetic documentary about three heterosexuals with different background who talk about the stereotypes they once had toward homosexuality. In this short film, they also share with us how they chose to overcome these prejudices in order to discover the real people behind these pre-conceived labels.

If we can find ways to end or weaken the straight world order we would all have something to win. But of course some would have more to win than others.
Mads Ananda Lodahl has spend the last 10 years writing articles and books and giving lectures at schools, universities and festivals with the purpose of destroying what he calls the straight world order, and making life easier for everyone in conflict with it.

An exchange, between Palermo and Paris, between a director who signs an autograph and his recipient who receives it, while listening to an excerpt of his favorite film. Shot on the sidelines of the Sicilia Queer Film Festival of Palermo where Paul Vecchiali was president of the jury, L'autographe is a meditation on trespassing, on cinema and its images that continue to reverberate in the heads and hearts of those who love it, even when the screening is now over. A heartfelt tribute to Paul Vecchiali, who passed away in January this year, and to the imperishable power of cinema. "Nobody dies", says the protagonist of Drugstore Romance, and it is death that makes it clear to her, just as the memory and work of a great filmmaker will never die.

USA / 4 mins
USA Definitively speaking, The Radical Faeries (also Faeries and Fae) are a loosely-affiliated, worldwide network and counter-cultural movement seeking to reject hetero-imitation and redefine queer identity through spirituality. Figuratively speaking they are a group of the most creative, energetic, and mystical men Danielle has ever had the chance to photograph. Their chameleon aesthetic alone was enough to wow for hours. Couple that with their intensely positive nature, and this shoot was truly one of the most unique of Danielle’s journey.

Leo plays music on her sewing machine. Stygn is a kind of music video for the song of the same name. From the concentration of everyday work comes music and through it the doors open to a reality where unicorns might exist and look at you with serious eyes, even if they look a bit homely. Since its invention at the end of the 18th century, the sewing machine has become one of the world’s most common instruments. Millions of people play their sewing machines every day, but, perhaps because of the low status of the instrument, few of them have taken their musicianship to a professional level and presented it to an audience.

Taking Our Chances

Matthew Feliss

2013
|
USA / 54 mins
The film is comprised of 20 very personal interviews with gay men living in San Francisco—all of them 32 or younger - who Matthew either knew personally, had met online, or just out on the street. The first part of the film is set up as a kind of sexual cartography which tries to “map out the rough contours of sex,” what turns these guys on, who they have sex with, why do they have sex, etc. And then it moves on to explore how HIV fits within that map, how the picture gets complicated, where fear and ignorance enter the picture, where HIV is close in proximity, and what the circumstances around some folks’ seroconversion were.

A group of professional contemporary dancers in Berlin, who are also explorers of conscious sexuality, are invited by the choreographer David Bloom to use their experience making dance pieces to research and question the border between pornography and art in this short film.
How much sexual explicitness is allowed into a “serious” artistic dance piece? And how much time and space are allowed in pornography?
This is also a tribute to the experimental and sex-positive atmosphere of Berlin in the early 21st century, Quintet and Sonata bring together work with dance, movement & conscious sexuality to create a unique erotic visual experience.
