‘disturbing queer realities’
‘the XPOSED international queer short film festival berlin’ is back for it’s 3rd year of showing queer films from abroad to an enthusiastic Berlin pride week audience! On June 26th prepare to be disturbed, intrigued & perhaps even turned on by some of the greatest and latest short films to come out of Australia, Canada and South Korea!
The festival began in Berlin during the Pride Week of 2006. At first it screened award winning Australian queer short films but then in 2007 expanded to screen queer experiments from Canada. In this years program expect some shockingly terrific short films from these two nations as well as a couple of intense queer shorts from South Korea. Plus a special return concert by ‘Call Me An Ambulance’ the band that rocked the festival away last year!
This years program ‘disturbing queer realities’ is a collection of short films that have emerged in the past two years that show us through many different genres, formats and stories a series of realities/ situations and lives that are lived by certain queer individuals that in some way disturb, offend and aggravate others. Films about sad children with the wish to suicide, the gay mafia, a young lesbian with an innocent yet scary questions for adults as well as situations when tables are turned and the oppressed becomes the oppressor as such in ‘My Girl 2012’.
In all, Eleven short films will be screened, after an extensive search, each one of these films compliment each other and most importantly show characters realities and stories as moments in time. We are lucky enough to witness these moments as their time runs thin and we count down to the time when smoking is no longer legal inside Berlin Bars and Cafes. With this, we also like to celebrate smoking on screen with the majority of these shorts showing a good number of people lighting up. To this we say ‘LIGHT UP’ to save Berlin from the Global Lameness fate that has entrapped many other cities that have passed these laws putting many bars and peoples livelyhoods out of business and creating a not so free environment in which to live what is meant to be our lives!
XPOSED is about XPOSER and XPOSING. It’s about FUN, BERLIN and it’s about TIME! ‘The XPOSED international queer short film festival berlin’ was created to bring Queer Short Films from other nations to Berlin during Pride Week and to provide international Xposure for Queer Filmmakers from around the world. In the lead up for this years festival we will also be screening some of the fantastic short films that screened at last years festival at a number of cafes around berlin during pride week!
