Films

Berlin, is an open-minded, creative city, home to many queers and artists, chances for networking and collaboration.

I hate you SO much (Alice Reily de Souza | Brazil/Germany)

A short poem about hate and love.

Image Makers – The Image of Absence (Beto Macedo | Brazil)

Over 3 billion photos are shared every day. Images have become our main language. In this context, who creates the new narratives? If we live in a universe oriented by the visual, what do the people who are translating the spirit of our time see in their visual creations?
In 6 months, more than 90 names were mapped, 40 people were interviewed and 5 of them had their creative processes registered in this movie. An EIXO partnership with TILT REC film production.

SALADA MISTA (Estevan de La Fuente/Shai Oliva Alon | Brazil)

SALADA MISTA is a profound penetration into a fantastic and sensual world in which fruits and vegetables are mistaken as our deepest most hidden desires. Here, we have them in all sizes, all formats, all colors, for all tastes. In this market, no one goes home hungry.

Otherland (Keren Levi/Jan Pieter Tuinstra | Netherlands)

A Vogue dancer performs at a Voodoo Carnival Ball, an important dance contest where he will have to prove himself to be accepted by the local ballroom community. He remembers growing up on Sint Maarten, a small island in the Caribbean and all the changes he has been through since. The freedom he longed for seems within reach. Based on the biographical story of Elvin Elejandro Martinez and narrated by him, ‘Otherland’ is a juxtaposition of two narratives that evoke new associations for viewers: while the visual story of the ball is fictional, the film is based on in-depth research into the Dutch ballroom community and all the characters and dancers are part of the European ballroom/vogue community.

Directed by Estevan de La Fuente and created and produced by Shai Oliva Alon, Salada Mista is a tropical audiovisual experiment which draws inspiration from publicity, fashion, music videos and pornography, culminating into a luscious synesthesia of an overdose of colors, sounds, flavors and scents.

Becoming (Yishay Garbasz | Germany)

Becoming are images of Garbasz’ body one year before and one year after gender affirmation surgery. Garbasz used non projected film as she did not want the context of unreality that projected films have. This film is a stop motion film of Becoming’s construction and operation. It was also published as a flip book, distributed by random house.

Short Film Night – In between
WHEN? 26.04.2019

more

Inbetween the country and the city, traditions and revolution, your family and yourself – where do you go and what do you do? Ten short films explore these questions and ask you: where do you stand?

Films:

A Mama (Narahari Rao H | India)

Crooked (Briana Blades/Kristin Kent | Canada)

A documentary about genderqueer journalist, poet and artist Jess Sachse who is living with a congenital disability.

F to M (Shahrad Shahvareh | Iran)

This short film shows just a small part of an Iranian transgender’s emotions and limitations and the way he fights. This is a picture of the tough emotions a F to M transgender youth has to go through to get to live his original and true real self. Director and Actor of this short movie is an iranian transgender Shahrad Shahvareh himself, who is forced to wear a hijab until he gets an official sex change.

Gray (Preet | India)

Because homosexuality is still a crime in many parts of the world, people are afraid of taking a stand for their individuality. There have been a number of movements and protests for the freedom of homosexuality, but hardly any thoughts have been given to those girls who have gotten married to homosexual men who are afraid of exposing their truth in our bitter society.

Nandini is one such girl who got married to Rohit, who is a homosexual. Zoel, Rohit’s partner, is an artist and aware of Nandini’s suffocation. The story takes a turn when Rohit tells Zoel that he is planning to have a kid through IVF, so that Nandini will get busy in her life and it may release him of his guilt too. Opposite to Rohit’s expectations, Zoel feels disgusted with this thought and discards Rohit’s intention of managing his life between him and Nandini.

While it feels like a sacrifice to Rohit, that he got married to Nandini and not his real love, isn’t it a crime to Nandini who dreams of a married life with a loving partner? “Gray” takes us to understand the characters and to connect as human beings.

Into the Rainbow (Hasan Najmabadi | Iran)

Two lesbian girls take up the dangerous journey from Iran to Turkey to reach freedom.

Kinga (Konrad Kidawa | Poland)

Being pulled in and out of native culture and feeling like my queerness was unwelcome by my people, I separated myself for years. Now I explore my relationship with my culture by decolonizing myself and others by sharing my identity openly and honestly.

The Choice (Lotte Twaalfhoven | Ireland)

Devin is in a deteriorating relationship with Ashley when she meets Alex. Devin and Alex hit off immediately. Devin’s best friend is Hannah wants Devin to be happy. Devin is left with a choice to stay with Ashely and work things out or choose what will make her happy.

The Gay & I [Beki’t Ako] (Romeo Burlat | Philippines)

The movie tackles different kinds of gay. But the story focuses more on two former pageant gay beauty queens who decided to live a normal life by getting married with the opposite sex. The film does not only tackle your funny bones but will also reduce you to tears.

SHORT FILM NIGHT – HAPPY ENDINGS
WHEN? 22.02.2019

Deep Sea Pearl (Raven Byrne | Australia)

Deep Sea Pearl is a short animated film originally created as a university assignment. It follows a little mermaid’s plight to impress her crush, an angel she often sees flying above, by giving her a pearl. I was determined to create a cute story with two queer women as the characters, because so many big Hollywood movies either have no queer women or give them sad endings. Deep Sea Pearl is also dedicated to my partner, who I started dating while making the film.

Foible (Simmie Sangian | USA)

At a house party Sofia’s inner criticism manifests into human form and constantly reminds her of her short comings.

I lost you in the subway (Marco T. Alves | Brazil)

Emotions and sensations in a delirious, feverish and ardent rhythm of a love that still burns. In the subway of São Paulo, the seasons change, but not the feeling. The wagon has left, but are the doors closed for her?

In plain sight (Marta Kwasniewska | UK)

Pril (Niek Roozen | Netherlands)

Two girls go on a camping trip, but what will happen after their first kiss?

Sisak (Faraz Arif Ansari | India)

Silence is the most piercing sound. Silence is something that so underutilized in our lives, in the films we watch and the films we make, silence barely exists. However, when Sisak was born, I knew it right from its inception that it has to be a silent film. I had so much to say that words were falling short. Why silent? Well, other than being a political statement about the state of the LGBTQI community in India, there exists a state of immense need to be heard by the community – we take out Pride marches, almost every LGBTQI film is about people’s struggles with their families, with themselves, about coming out, etc. As a filmmaker and a storyteller, I feel we use too many words to convey what we feel. Sometimes, I feel, words are poor comforters. People need to feel what you are feeling and when there are no words to support the visuals, by default, the audience wants to get into the minds of the character, we observe them more closely, we feel more closely and that indirectly, makes the loudest roar that the community needs.

Steps in the Night (Daniel & Maximiliano Garcia | USA/Mexico)

In mid-1990’s Tijuana, a closeted gay man enters a local Cumbia competition in the hopes of dancing with a man whom he secretly admires.

TQU-Tresen: Short Film Night
When: November 30th, 2018

more

QU is very happy to invite you to our very first Short Film Night! If you have missed our last two events – they’ve been very cosy and friendly, fun and entertaining and we will continue on this path.

Next to showing four amazing films: Yumma, Va-Bene, I Could Be Her She Could Be Me and Queer Sind Wir (all in English or with English subtitles) that deal with questioning gender and traditional gender roles in Jordan, Ghana, France and Germany/Berlin – this Friday we will have Brenda Jorde, one of the film makers at the event, who will tell you about her film Va-Bene, you can meet Marc who will support organizing our upcoming events and Marc and Verena will tell you a bit about how you can get involved in this event series in the future.

There will be drinks and you are very much invited to hang out with us and talk to us or your friends after the screenings.

Yumma is a 23 minutes long Arabic documentary centered around first-person stories about the relationship between three Arab mothers and their sons. Delving in the impact of social stigma on family relations, Yumma presents the family as an area where solidarity can be exercised and #acceptances can be practiced, to defend the autonomy of individuals over their bodies.

This is a zerobudget project based on voluntary work.

Musa Al-Shadeedi, the film maker, was born in Baghdad in 1992 and finished their schooling in psychology from Amman Ahlya University in 2016. They lived their childhood under the rule of Saddam Hussein, and saw the intervention of US troops in the country to overthrow the regime under the guise of promoting “freedom.” They were able to turn their visual art and writing to a vessel that carries the voices of the subaltern. They published their latest book titled “The nonnormatve sexuality in Arab cinema” (in Arabic) in 2018. They founded Cinamji, an initiative dealing with body and sexuality in the Arab cinema in 2017,and they are the Arabic editor of My.Kali magazine.

Va-Bene is a performance artist who criticizes and draws attention to the restrictive and religious approach to gender that is present in Ghanaian society. This portrait is focused on his performance of femininity, which seeks to challenge and subvert Ghanaian perceptions of what it is to be a woman. Va-Bene shows that you can be an ally through art, and fight for what you think is right.

Brenda Jorde is a German student living in Berlin. Her father is Ghanaian and until the age of 12 she often visited him in Ghana, but since then she has not been back. In 2017, She made the decision to travel to Ghana again to find out about the country, culture and people.

The 6 short films I created are a 0-budget and one woman production.

Although it is possible to find stories of independent, smart and active Ghanaian woman and men it is often the case that mainstream narratives about Africa focus on poverty and inequality and show people as passive victims. I wanted to challenge this stereotype and find inspiring people that speak up and question traditions/gender/ religion/conventions… Through friends, family and chance encounters I got in contact with people from different parts of society who were happy to talk to me on camera. Va-Bene is one of them.

I could be her she could be me

A beautiful digital storytelling project by Delphine Kermorvant, titled “I could be her, she could be me.”

Delphine is a photographer working on memory, heredity, transmission, and gender. She’s lived in Berlin for 10 years.

QUEER SIND WIR

What is queer? Is it political? Is it identitarian? Is it an aesthetic, a posture? Is it intersectional, is it sexual? In this film collage, Sanni Est interviews 7 queer subjects speaking freely on community, privilege, post-colonialism and more with the intention to raise questions to the viewer rather than giving definitions.

Sanni Est is a Brazilian transgender multi-media artist based in Berlin. As of August 2017 she started making music videos and experimental short documentaries for her trans*feminist music event ‘Empower’. The Empower concept is to raise representativity and give protagonism to queer, trans*, non-binary artists from different scenes in the world. Her first short documentary is called ‘Beautiful Lies’, was shot in London and is available online.

TQU-Tresen: Rurru Mipanochia
When: August 31st, 2018

more

Rurru Mipanochia is a cyborg built in Nibiru, but discarded to the earth by defects in its operating system, reborn in Mexico City. Rurru studied visual arts in the Faculty of Arts and Design, UNAM, and graduated in the year 2012. In 2015-2016 Rurru got chosen for the program of young creators, FONCA (Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes), a renowned art scholarship in Mexico. Her/his/its works were exhibited in Mexico, Latin America, Europe and the USA, as well as published in national and international magazines.

Before the Spanish conquest, sexuality used to be much more open.

For example, the Maya allowed homosexuality and lesbianism, so did the Huastecs, and the Zapotec civilization had a declared third sex.

Rurru is going to talk about how gender was considered something much more fluid, tell you some myths around menstruation and give you some insight in how Rurru has made a personal reinterpretation of these researches based on some anthropologists like Miriam López Hernández, Noemi Quezada, Edward Seler, Patrick Johansson, Atahualpa Huntar and more.

You will also get to see some of Rurru’s dazzling artworks, which we will project on the walls. Rurru will also bring some stickers and cards of her work for you to purchase if you like.

Get Your Personal Wheel of Colours

The Wheel of Colours is a traditional tool to help us understand what we need or can share in certain situations.

We are all made up out of the same colours, but they are arranged uniquely in each person – which is why we need or can give different things in different moments.

If you’d like to find out what can support YOU when starting a project, or working with other people, to successfully finish something, to heal, to spark your creativity or what your unique gift is, that you bring to the world, then the Wheel of Colours will help you to see this and yourself more clearly and show you how to use these insights in practical ways.

It will also show you how you can listen to your inner truth and that of others, what your most important lesson is in life and what challenges you might have to overcome.

Once you’ve learned what you need to learn, you can start the wheel again, this time more smoothly.

In the past, people often only got these insights and realizations towards the end of their lives – but you don’t have to wait until then.

🌈 You have the power to create your reality.
