KuirFest Berlin: Queer Feminist Rebels
\nCurated by Esra \u00d6zban and Esma Akyel
\nMay 23 \u2013 June 7, 2019<\/p>\n

Through the \u2018KuirFest Berlin: Queer Feminist Rebels\u2019 programme, the organisers aim to gather films and filmmakers as well as activists to explore queer feminist perspectives of gender and sexuality in cinema and beyond. The programme gathers films that transgress the dominant modes of filmmaking and suggests a transitive and fluid understanding of time, space, identity and sexuality.<\/p>\n

Haunted by that history, and in the context of the recent rise of the far-right and the tragedy of Grenfell, “Something Said” is an imaginative, gestural letter to Yvonne Ruddock, the 16 year-old whose birthday was being celebrated the night of the fire. “R\u00fcya” is a queer dream emerging from the real ‘surreal’ scapes of Istanbul that hold in tandem so much suffering yet so much pleasure. “Reality Fragment 160921” follows two people in their process of reality-curation, revealing the careful cultivation of our own histories. “LYING WOMEN”, imagines art history\u2019s most famous reclining nudes daring to escape from centuries of servitude to colonial heteropatriarchy. In “Reclaiming Intersex”, \u201cI was born into a world that said: you do not exist, you should not exist, you cannot exist\u201d says Nthabiseng Mokoena, an intersex in South Africa in 1978. “These Are My Hands” is a personal narrative of a trans body where pain, resistance, power and love become intertwined and merge into one, a visual poem written and voiced by playwright Jo Clifford. Whereas the world tends to reiterate its hot borders, conflictual discourses and neoliberal violence, “Archive of Feelings: Radical Compassion” reminds us it may be the time to remember there are worlds without ends.<\/p>\n
