No More “I Love You’s”
This year, we grew into our 14th edition with 16 feature films and 8 short film programs. We’re proud to expand, not for the sake of expansion but to reflect the varieties of queer stories, communities and characters that are out there. The classic love story is entirely absent in this program, but love is not.
XPOSED has always been about more than the representation of LGBTQI on screen. We love a queer cinema that allows for wildness, for failure, for withdrawal. A queer cinema that refuses the logics of assimilation. Our characters are outcasts, living on the fringes of society. Our directors question the state of the world through the art of montage. Hetero/cis-normativity is observed in everyday life and queered in the archive. Norms take their toll on all of us. Family is central to this, and here, our films open up complexities. Children struggle, but so do their parents, caught in precarious and repressive circumstances. And then, when the subconscious collides with fantasy, new worlds emerge.
With a strong visual language, experimental filmmaking unfolds the loss, love and craziness of our times. Barbara Hammer (1939-2019), whose life and work we celebrate in our program, had mastered this skill beautifully. We love her, and all the other filmmakers that unveil their hearts and minds.
Zum Film:
The wastelands and crowded streets of an African country are traversed by a woman bearing a wooden cross on her back. She is followed by sellers, beggars and passerbys, outraged voices, pity and curious glances. Parallel to her, among a herd of sheep, a lamb toddles its way from the far away mountains into the heart of the city only to find itself dangling, skinned and headless, on a butcher’s shoulder. In the meantime, under the scorching sun, in a roofless house, a woman is persistently knitting a garment, unwinding a thread coiled over her son’s face.
MOTHER, I AM SUFFOCATING. THIS IS MY LAST FILM ABOUT YOU is a symbolic social-political voyage of a society, spiralling between religion, identity and collective memory.

14th XPOSED International Queer Film Festival
Im Rahmen des schwul-lesbischen Filmfestivals XPOSED wurden vier englischsprachige Kurzfilme gezeigt, die jeweils ganz verschieden waren. So hatte wohl jeder einen Favouriten. Es ist ein gemütliches kleines Kino.
Toller Animationsfilm über einen Jungen, der nach dem Tod seiner Mutter, in einem Kinderheim sein neues Zuhause findet. Die Figuren sind ganz bezaubernd mit ihren großen Augen und selbstgestrickten Sachen. Absolut sehenswert.
