Queer Shorts in Gera Once again - one of the best programmes of the 20th Festival

Together with Cellu l`Art Jena we will show at the backyard of the Tonhalle in Gera the best short films from all over the world.

The short films of "Queer Shorts" tell about the protagonists being constantly in a process of self discovery. They learn more about themselves while engaging in power plays, dealing with their own past and struggling with the norms of society. New­found confidence and inner strength – in one way or the other – await.

If the weather is fine, we will build a cozy sitting area with flame barrels and a big screen in the backyard. If it rains, we will invite everyone to the Jugendclub C-One (Clara-Zetkin-Str. 1 (Tonhalle), 07545 Gera).

The most of the films are in English. And the entrance is free!

Snacks and drinks will be provided. Hope to see you in Gera!
