queere Kurzfilme beim Kahla Courage

Our short film program on the occasion of the 3rd Kahla Courage Festival is completely dedicated to the motto of our host event: visible - queer - radically solidaric. Visible through a tender look at the life of, among other, drag and dance artists. Queer - through all ages and social classes, from craftsmen and housewives to young filmmakers and company bosses. Radically solidaric - with the dreams and desires, the everyday life and the craftsmanship of the protagonists.
(Gries, Kahla)
