PREMIERES:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Directed by: Am\u00e9lie van Elmbt & Maya Duverdier Synopsis<\/strong>: The camera hovers, lost in reverie as voices and sounds waft through the gutted rooms of a building. Archive footage is sometimes projected onto unplastered walls and at others used as a soundtrack as we continue our tour. This is the legendary Chelsea Hotel, famous as the preferred abode of New York\u2019s bohemia from the 1950s to the 1980s. Here, bourgeois society\u2019s misfits \u2013 sex workers, poets, queers and artists \u2013 were able to find cheap accommodation and form alliances. In this documentary, the remaining tenants from that era grant access to their flats and give us an insight into their lives. They are the focus of a film that interweaves the present with the ghosts of the past. The completion of eight years of luxury refurbishment ahead of the building\u2019s reopening as a hotel is eagerly awaited by some residents and dreaded by others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 15:30 International<\/p>\n\n\n\n Directed by: James Gregory Atkinson Synopsis<\/strong>: James Gregory Atkinson\u2019s performative short film centers the history of the iconic Peacock Chair to interrogate contemporary social contexts and historical concepts of identities. The film engages the chair\u2019s origins in forced prison labor in the Philippines, its status as an internationally traded \u201cexotic\u201d commodity, its use in portrait photography, and its associations with Black radical activists such as Huey P. Newton\u2014to explore ideas of Black masculinities and resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 20:00 Werkstattkino@silent green<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Directed by: Max Walker-Silverman Synopsis<\/strong>: A remote lake in the North American landscape. The sand is yellow, the sky is blue and the mountains distant; there is nary a tree far and wide to provide shade. Faye is spending her days here in a trailer, with two books and a radio, leisurely birdwatching and stargazing. With her wiry build, wild blonde hair and hands that speak of a life of labour, she fits in perfectly here. Anything that breaks, she simply fixes; the only time she sits up and takes notice is when there is a knock at the door. Because Faye is waiting for Lito. Their connection goes way back to their youthful love for each other, but for some years now they have also shared the pain of loss \u2013 both are widowed. Max Walker-Silverman\u2019s gentle, laconic film is about contemplative introspection, the power of love and the depths of melancholy. Dale Dickey\u2019s portrayal of Faye is a touching mixture of inner strength and fragility, which is also reflected in the impressive natural scenery and a delicate soundtrack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n SCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 19:00 Zoo Palast 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Directed by: Nicol\u00f2 Bassetti Synopsis<\/strong>: Four friends \u2013 Nic, Leo, Andrea and Raff \u2013 tell the stories of their gender transitions. Looking back on their childhood and youth, they share their personal memories and experiences. Even if they did not always conform to the social norms of femininity \u2013 all four were socialised as girls. Each of their gender biographies may be different, yet there are parallels. This helps them to understand each other and feel less alone. The discussions with partners, the choice of pronouns, the hormone therapy, decisions about surgery and dealing with the authorities \u2013 the processes are diverse, and lengthy. In the strictly binary world we live in, the decision to determine one\u2019s own gender identity is a subversive act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 12:30 Zoo Palast 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Directed by: Mariano Biasin Synopsis<\/strong>: In his dreams, bathed in a brilliant glow, Manu and his best friend Felipe are inching closer and closer together, yet they never kiss. A confusing desire, as Manu is dating Azul, and the two are about to have sex for the first time. In Mariano Biasin\u2019s Sublime, a niggling desire simmers beneath the surface of 16-year-old Manu\u2019s everyday life, his emotional turmoil bubbling up and revealing itself in indirect ways – during his attempt to find the right chords for his latest lyrics and in his flights of melancholic introspection, at band practices with the rest of the guys or during supper with his parents. Cautiously, with increasing resignation, Manu keeps trying to solve the conundrum: how do you avoid losing something precious, when it\u2019s the very thing tearing you up inside? <\/p>\n\n\n\n SCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 20:00 Urania<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Directed by: Lorenzo Tardella Synopsis<\/strong>: While their classmates endure the visit to the concert with pranks, Pietro and Tommaso secretly get closer to each other in the box. During the playing of Vivaldi\u2019s composition, their lips touch. When Tommaso invites Pietro to his home shortly afterwards, the tension is still in the air. The desire, however, soon gives way to an ambiguity that particularly irritates the otherwise cautious Pietro. What did the kiss mean? <\/p>\n\n\n\n SCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 14:00 HKW<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Directed by: Jean-S\u00e9bastien Chauvin Synopsis<\/strong>: A city at dawn. Traffic is flowing like red and white blood cells. A man sleeps, enveloped in the darkness \u2013 he is beautiful, he is naked, it is hot. We will never know what he is dreaming. The sun rises and the fa\u00e7ades of the skyscrapers begin to sparkle <\/p>\n\n\n\n SCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 21:30 Cubix 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Directed by: Alice Brygo Synopsis<\/strong>: In the shadow of a colonial past and a neo-capitalist present, Inti, Jai and Pauline are searching for their place in a world that was not made for them. As they roam the neighbourhood looking for somewhere to settle, they question their parents about faith, spirituality, roots and their experiences of migration. They decide to occupy an empty bank building in order to fill it with their memories, dreams and role play. A portrait of our time that oscillates between documentary, performance art and surrealism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n SCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 12:00 Cubix 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 18:30 Cubix 9 Directed by: Antonio Marziale Synopsis<\/strong>: A Hollywood villa on a sultry summer night. The escort does what he was hired to do and gives his client the illusion he has paid for. \u201cI\u2019ll make you a star\u201d, the customer says, before the tide turns abruptly and the power dynamics are unsettled. A revenge movie of the queer kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n SCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 12:00 Cubix 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.02. \/ 18:30 Cubix 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n RERUNS:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Berdreymi<\/em><\/strong> (Beautiful Beings) Jet Lag <\/em><\/strong> Nelly & Nadine<\/em><\/strong> Peter von Kant <\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The third festival day is buzzing with lively events and especially with our delightful premieres \u2013 9 taking place only today!
