Short film programme: Holding each other
The four films in this programme explore queerness as something fragile, hard-earned and deeply connecting. Spanning generations, relationships and self-chosen families, they address the desire for community, the passing on of experiences, and the tension between closeness, silence and betrayal. Spaces emerge in bodies, gazes, memories and political realities in which identity is negotiated, tested and rethought.
In cooperation with Arcus Stiftung.
