NATURAL INSTINCTS | Schwulissimo

In the organizer's words:

From mythological ecstasies and the desire for physicality to queer club and darkroom culture - the short film program "Schwulissimo" celebrates the diversity of gay sexuality in all its facets. The films whisk us away into intoxicating dream images in which desire and the world of the gods merge, revive the sensuality of body hair and show darkrooms and flaps as places of intimacy and dissolution of boundaries. Fetishes for leather, corduroy and tight pants meet animalistic desire, poetic eroticism meets unconcealed lust.

In the subsequent discussion with porn actor and activist Hans Berlin and AIDS-Hilfe Stuttgart, we will explore issues surrounding life as an HIV-positive person in the porn scene.

We offer sign language interpretation for this talk. If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please let us know at: follow-your@natural-instincts.eu
