The film is a journey that perhaps began decades ago and has been many years in the making. The Hakki Pikkis are a free spirited nomadic tribe who began their wandering many generations ago in the North Western part of the Indian subcontinent.
Over time they traveled through and settled in different states of the country. As they moved, they survived through trapping birds and hunting small game in the forests and selling them in cities and towns along with lucky charms and trinkets. If the trap failed, begging was the next best bet!
Exiled from the forest, reviled by the city, their traditional ways of life outlawed, the Hakki Pikkis share their stories of wit and survival in the film that emerged through a series of community conversations held when we travelled with friends from a settlement in Bannerghatta, Bangalore to other settlements across Karnataka.

Dazu kommt die Chemie der Medien, Gift und Heilmittel gleichzeitig: 1709 wird das Pigment „Berliner Blau“ erfunden, giftig als Cyanid, Gegenmittel bei Vergiftungen … Blau ist ein Hauptdarsteller von Schroedingers Film und seiner Projektionsflächen. Seid ihr bereit für eine nicht optimierte, nicht digitalgeglättete, roh-analoge Bildverschachtelungsinszenierung?
In 1976 the Hoffmann-La Roche dioxin cloud poisoned the air in Seveso. “Blueness” examines the links between the historical catastrophe and the chemical present of the media and the body, with Prussian blue toxic in the form of cyanide and at the same time an antidote for poison. Blue is the star of Kerstin Schroedinger’s non-polished blend of images.

Non binary, a gender, two spirit, genderqueer, gender fluid and gender nonconforming identities have always existed, but this program aims to give plenty more space to these communities. We wish to start a new cinematic language in order for us to expand and evolve. Gender clear is one of the first times audiences are seeing an entire bill around these identities. These fun and fearless artists celebrate romance, dance and fashion while exploring the complex struggles and joys of being genderqueer. Transformations and binaries are questioned and answered through radical self love and vivid creative expression.

The fundamental principle of discrepant cinema is a disregard of the image in order to privilege written narration. There is no attempt to illustrate the text. The relation of sound and image can—indeed, should—be as arbitrary and opaque as possible.

Reflecting on questions relating to queer historical public space and shifting ecologies, Rosenfeld looks at queer dystopia, a positive embrace of apocalypse and invisible genocide.

Takata made this video to create a moment of spectacle rather than an artwork.
In the video, a high school boy is dozing on the train when from his chest, something sticks out as if his heart or soul were escaping. This is a kind of game that Japanese boys play, hiding one arm under their shirts and moving it back and forth. It is usually just a simple trick used to surprise someone, but Takata wanted to convert this silly boy’s prank into a more romantic gesture.

For India’s LGBTQ community, the journey to acceptance and recognition is still a long road ahead. True equality and approval, whether at the societal level, the political or the judicial, is patchy, superfluous or in many cases, simply non-existent. But all journeys, however tough, start with a single step. And these steps turn into strides.

And like many children of immigrant parents, Mona both worships her mother and is suffocated by her. When Mona leaves the house, its as if she can breathe freely. In the building elevator, she meets cute ERICA, the charming butch who just moved in next door. Whenever Mona is around Erica, things have a way of flying around on their own. Mona has the power to move things with her mind and she can't always control it. But Mona's instant chemistry with Erica awakens something dormant in her and she can finally stop hiding. She's in love. Of course, Ma notices and she's not going to let her daughter go easily. When Ma hounds and bullies Mona through their house, the long simmering fight exploding between them is ugly. Erica intervenes, but nothing can prepare her for learning what happens when Mona loves you...

They dance, flirt with the audience and enjoy their performance. Dear men, we love you.

Rock and Roll, noise, collages su carta e progetti oscuri, Jung, l’uomo e la massa, sogno e veglia, costruzione e distruzione, palazzi e condominio. Già all’inizio di questo documentario/film saggio era chiaro che il metodo giusto per sapere non era fare ordine nelle visioni di Elisa Abela, artista visuale e musicista, ma di favorirne ed accelerarne il disordine. Oggi sono passato e tu non c’eri è un viaggio leggero ed ignoto, divertente ed a tratti enigmatico verso il nulla, risultato di un metodo compositivo spesso anti-cinematografico, inventato in corsa e condiviso con una piccola comunità di anime che hanno preso parte al racconto, generandolo a loro volta. Ancora una volta “Nulla è Vero. Tutto è Permesso”.

Following a diary-like aesthetic, deep colours and thick textures covers images of nature. Distorted by analog manipulations, their materiality seem to capture a sense of discovery and, at the same time, a feeling of oppression. Surprisingly, the images oscillates between being very close and distant, playing with absurdity and intensity. Like if someone was entering a mysterious place and going out very quickly, Plant Dreaming Deep is probably a joyfully overwhelming glimpse of transitions happening in daily-life.

I Göteborg samlades människor som stickade, fikade, pratade politik och sjöng. Den 8 mars fylldes Götaplatsen av ett hav av rosa pussyhats. Nu kommer revolutionen - men vi hann inte med den… Med avstamp i manifestationerna reflekterar regissörerna Annika Ivarsson och Astrid Askberger över den politiska kampens lockelse, svårighet och nödvändighet.

STONES & WATER WEIGHT is an exercise in how societies' perceive the fragilities of those who survive with the virus. In this era of globalized fitness culture through the use of social media, "looking healthy" matters much more than actually being healthy. Using endurance as the motivation for the performance, the video creates a new perception of HIV+ people as strong and resilient. Research references include the Atlas myth, the god of endurance that holds the earth and the skies over his shoulders, as well as the never ending climb of the Sisyphus myth.

The Desert /
Deserto

Jacopo Miliani

|
Spain, Italy / 6 mins
Deserto reflects on the possibility of speaking about multiple and queer identities through the invention of a new language. Through only the movement of two hands and a voice over, the desert is evoked as the place where the sand never takes a precise shape. The desert is also a symbolic reference to two specific films: Teorema (1968) by Pier Paolo Pasolini and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) by Stephan Elliot. The protagonists of these movies are the Guest (a mysterious stranger with an ambiguous sexuality) and Bernadette (a transgender character), respectively, and both played by the same actor Terence Stamp. These films are the starting point for the text narrated by the voiceover in Deserto, where real and fictional identities disappear, dismantling the existence of any fixed role.
