Young men from all over the world have been meeting at the Blue Boy Bar in Berlin for forty years. According to their website, this is where the city’s lonely hearts, business people and tourists go.

Entropia

Director: Anna Flóra Buda, Hungary, 2018

Three women, three lives in parallel worlds, until the moment a fly causes a bug in the system. The universe collapses, sex is in the air, bras are overrated and the stars twinkle! READ MORE…

Four Quartets

Director: Marco Alessi, United Kingdom, 2018

He waves his arms in the air while his lithe body soaks up the beat and transfers it to his legs. Raf literally breathes in the music. At the same time he is constantly scanning the room. READ MORE…

Héctor

Director: Victoria Giesen Carvajal, Chile, 2019

Vivir en junio con la lengua afuera (To Live in June with Your Tongue Hanging out)

Director: Coco Fusco, USA/Cuba, 2018

Though he first supported the Cuban revolution as a young man, Reinaldo Arenas spent much of his adult life on the island as a persona non grata because of his open homosexuality and politically dissident views.

Yulia & Juliet

Director: Zara Dwinger, Netherlands, 2018

Yulia and Juliet are in prison. Worse still, Juliet will soon be released. But what will happen to Yulia? READ MORE…
