Queer Artivism

A 58-year-old man lives in a caravan, placed in his own garden. He has everything that he needs there, starting from a bed, a coffee maker, a refrigerator, Internet, but especially a webcam, or rather, a set of webcams, for his sex chats. Erwin, that’s his name, tells his own story.

Erwin

Heiko, 51, a sheet metal former trained in GDR times, unemployed since the fall of the wall, pisses on his bed and on the carpet. The film encounters Heiko's dysfunctional family history and his decision to be alone forever. Piss and GDR, a reflection of how deep the consequences of the fall of the Wall are still in the bodies of some people to this day.

Resident Ground Floor

Life’s all about two things: firstly, being loved, and secondly not being alone. But what happens when people aren’t enough, or when they’re too much?  Geliebt is not a film about the pros and cons of emotional and sexual relationships with animals but a film about the relationship between humans and animals, poised somewhere between love and dependence.

Be Loved

This is Real German Education: two naked elderly men in elegant surroundings talk about their relationship and the good old days, and chat in a refreshingly candid manner about their fetishes, sadomasochistic predilections and bondage.
