21.00 Alma, neuklonljiva ženska (A Worldly Woman of Indomitable Spirit), Huiqiun Wang, Andrej Kamnik Slovenija, 2022, 11’
Kratki animirani film Alma, neuklonljiva ženska, temelji na slikanici Huiqin Wang in Milana Dekleve Mala Alma na veliki poti (2020). Tokrat je slikarka in vizualna umetnica Huiqin Wang moči združila z animatorjem in vizualnim umetnikom Andrejem Kamnikom. Za film, ki se nekoliko razlikuje od knjige, je ustvarila nekaj novih ilustracij, prikazuje pa izjemni lik pisateljice in svetovne popotnice Alme Karlin, še posebej obdobje, ki ga je preživela na Japonskem in Kitajskem.
The short animated film is based on the previously published book by Huiqin Wang, entitled Little Alma on the Great Road (2020). The story is about her peculiar personality, her youth, her stay in Japan and her work and life there. The film summarizes the personality of Alma Karlin, part of her journey around the world, and shows feelings that we did not know about her. The genre of the animation could be defined as a poetic document by the cosmopolitan and writer Alma Karlin.

Režija: D. Smith
Nastopajo: Daniella Carter, Dominique Silver, Koko Da Doll, Liyah Mitchell
Produkcija: Magnolia Pictures
Izjemno zabaven in dinamičen dokumentarec odlikuje svež pristop trans filmarke D. Smith, tudi glasbene producentke, pevke in skladateljice, dvakrat nominirane za grammyja. Kokomo City je njen filmski prvenec, posnet v črno-beli tehniki. Portrete štirih temnopoltih transspolnih seksualnih delavk v Atlanti in New Yorku – Danielle Carter, Koko Da Doll, Liyah Mitchell in Dominique Silver, ki neposredno govorijo o svojem delu, – odlikujejo energičnost, seks, izziv in težko prislužena življenjska modrost.
In the wildly entertaining and refreshingly unfiltered documentary Kokomo City, filmmaker D. Smith passes the mic to four Black transgender sex workers in Atlanta and New York City – Daniella Carter, Koko Da Doll, Liyah Mitchell, and Dominique Silver – who unapologetically break down the walls of their profession. Holding nothing back, the film vibrates with energy, sex, challenge, and hard-earned wisdom.

Na zadnji dan snemanja je režiser Tomas vidno napet. Na zaključni zabavi najprej pade v objem svojega moža Martina, nato pa spozna mlado osnovnošolsko učiteljico Agathe. Naslednje jutro ponosno pove Martinu, da je spal z žensko. Ko ta nočna avantura preraste v nekaj več, se odnos med moškima začne spreminjati. Odvije se zgodba o odnosih, ki jih zaznamujejo strast, ljubosumje in narcisoidnost, v kateri vsi pokažejo le malo občutljivosti za potrebe drugega.
Po projekciji se nam bo po zoomu pridružil režiser Ira Sachs.
On the final day of his shoot filmmaker Tomas is visibly tense. At the wrap party, Tomas falls first into the arms of his husband Martin, but then he meets a young primary school teacher, Agathe. The next morning, Tomas proudly tells Martin that he has slept with a woman. As this one-night stand grows into something more, the relationship between the two men begins to change. A tale of relationships that is marked by passion, jealousy and narcissism unfolds in which each shows scant sensitivity for the needs of the others.

Vuk je bil krščen v Črni gori, kot prva oseba, ki v času krsta ni zaključila tranzicije, ki pa mu je po vseh peripetijah nepričakovano rešila življenje.
Po projekciji pogovor z režiserko Milino Trišić in portretiranko Heleno Vuković!
Through the diverse life stories of three transgender individuals, the film poses the question of freedom, understanding, and acceptance in countries torn between traditional principles and aspirations toward the West. Helena is an early retired major, the first military person in Serbia to do gender transition. Kamila is from Bosnia and Herzegovina, still hoping for transition in Serbia after years of trying. Vuk was baptized in Montenegro as the first transgender person who did not complete the transition at that time. His gender transition unexpectedly saved his life.

Nani Papali je še vedno hrepeneč po ljubezni in lepoti umrl pri dvajsetih letih in zapustil svoj dnevnik o ljubezni, o kateri se je bal odkrito govoriti s svojim sošolcem. Leta 1938 je iz tega dnevnika nastala knjiga, ki predstavlja prvi roman, ki je obravnaval istospolno ljubezen v Sloveniji. Škandalozen za svoj čas je povzročil veliko razburjenje in naletel na mešane odzive. Film Dečki, posnet po tem romanu, prikazuje intimni svet fantovske naklonjenosti.
Still longing for love and beauty Nani Papali died at the age of twenty, leaving his diary containing the words of love he feared to speak about openly about his fellow student. In 1938 this diary was rewritten into a book, and was the first novel to deal with the subject of gay love in Slovenia. Scandalous for its day, it caused a great stir and met with considerable disapproval. The film Boys, based on this novel, depicts the intimate world of boys’ affections.
V spomin na lani preminulega režiserja Stanka Josta, ki je posnel ta amaterski film po prvem slovenskem gejevskem romanu Franceta Novšaka.
Brezplačne vstopnice bodo na voljo uro pred začetkom projekcije.

Scenarij in režija: Daniel Gonçalves
Nastopajo: Dudé, Estela Lapponi, Cida Leite
Produkcija: SeuFilme, TvZero
Dokumentarni film, v katerem hendikepirane osebe opisujejo svoje spolno življenje. V pogovoru z režiserjem govorijo o flirtanju, poljubljanju, zmenkih, masturbaciji, abilizmu in (seveda) o seksu. »Prednost filma je, da od ljudi z oviranostmi slišimo stvari, za katere družba ne pričakuje, da jih bodo rekli in naredili. Želimo spremeniti predstavo, da so aseksualni, angelski, posebni in celo brez želja. Pravijo: Seksamo in seksamo dobro.«
Acsexybility is a documentary that tells stories about the sexuality of people with disabilities. Through the inerviewees' conversation with the director, the film talks about flirting, kissing, dating, masturbation, ableism and, of course, sex. “Its greatest strength is precisely hearing from people with disabilities things that society does not expect them to say and do. We want to change the idea that they are asexual, angelic, special and even devoid of desires. ‘We fuck and we fuck well,’ they say.”

Mladeniča, ki živita v Lagosu, začutita močno medsebojno privlačnost in tako trčita ob prepovedi nigerijske družbe. Bambino je dostavljalec z udobnim samskim življenjem. Njegov prijatelj Bara vodi zastavljalnico, v prostem času pa fotografira po mestu. Nekega popoldneva se zbližata in postaneta nerazdružljiva. Ker je v Nigeriji homoseksualnost kazniva, pa se težko prepustita svojim čustvom in drug drugemu. Filmski prvenec Babatundeja Apolowova natančno in presunljivo prikaže težave in nevarnosti zaradi izkazovanja ljubezni v družbi, kjer je homoseksualnost tabu.

Dokumentarni film je portret uspešnega režiserja ter obenem zelo osamljenega in nesrečnega človeka. Vse, kar je znal in hotel, je bilo delati filme. V enaintridesetletni karieri je posnel dvaintrideset filmov, kljub svoji mladosti pa je prejel prestižno nagrado na festivalu v Benetkah in osvojil grand prix na prvem festivalu v Cannesu. Kljub temu se je bojeval z ideologijami, ki so ga nenehno dušile: najprej z nacizmom, nato s komunizmom. Ko je že izgledalo, da je v oazi miru, v Jugoslaviji, našel svoj mir, se je bil primoran bojevati z zavistjo, tercialnostjo in prikrito ksenofobijo Slovencev. Ob 110-letnici Čapovega rojstva.

Osemletni otrok se spopada s tem, da ga ljudje vedno znova nagovarjajo na zmeden način. Poleti v Baskiji med čebeljimi panji raziskuje svojo identiteto, skupaj z ženskami iz svoje družine, ki pa razmišljajo o lastnih življenjih in željah. Režiserka zastavlja vprašanja, kot so: »Od kdaj vemo, kdo smo? Ali je grajenje identitete le intimna in osebna izkušnja ali nanjo vpliva tudi pogled drugih?« Sofía Otero je za vlogo Lucíe v Berlinu prejela srebrnega medveda za glavno vlogo.
An eight-year-old child struggles with the fact that people keep addressing her in confusing ways. During a summer in the Basque Country among the beehives, she explores her identity alongside the women of her family, who at the same time reflect on their own lives and desires. The director explores questions, such as “since when do we know who we are? Is self-identity only an intimate and personal experience or is it affected by external gaze?” Sofía Otero won the Silver Bear in Berlin for Best Leading Performance for the role of Lucía.

Modra je zadnji celovečerec britanskega umetnika, režiserja in aktivista Dereka Jarmana. Film, navdihnjen z delom Yvesa Kleina, poleg zvočnega zapisa vsebuje en sam statičen modri kader. Jarman je Modro ustvarjal v letu pred svojo smrtjo, ko je zaradi zapletov, povezanih z aidsom, delno oslepel. Njegove pronicljive komentarje o uničujoči epidemiji, lastnem stanju in neizbežni smrti ter razmišljanja o barvah, neskončnosti in praznini spremlja bogata, večplastna in sugestivna zvočna pokrajina.
Festival omogočata tudi: Ministrstvo za kulturo in Mestna občina Ljubljana
