Amusingly narrated by Albert, the mythical white peacock of Boulder Creek, and set in the context of the fires in Northern California in 2020, they give us insights into their experiences with fire: the fire in their hometown of Boulder Creek and the cremation of Annie Sprinkle\u2019s mother\u2019s body are juxtaposed with an eco-sexual encounter in a burnt forest and a ceremonial wedding with fire in the redwoods. Together with other artists (including Guillermo G\u00f3mez-Pe\u00f1a), indigenous elders and formerly incarcerated firefighters, they explore the ambivalence of fire, which is not only responsible for the destruction of nature and the habitats of humans and animals, but also represents an important element of nature. <strong>Playing with Fire: An Ecosexual Emergency<\/strong> is the last film in this pair\u2019s trilogy of queer environmental documentaries and, as they themselves say, \u00bba powerful portrait of queer resilience in the face of a world in flames\u00ab.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guests: Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Moderation: Mithu Sanyal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The event will be held in English.<\/p>\n<p>In cooperation with <em>K\u00f6lner Lesbian Visibility Weeks<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":46467,"template":"","movie_year":[806],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[872,881],"festival":[886],"class_list":["post-46475","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-806","movie_genre-documentary-en","movie_cat-desired-film-lust-and-queer-en-2026","movie_cat-audience-award-en-2026","festival-886"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
