SP 03 Queer Fever

From aching melancholy on the high seas to sisterly love in the artsy Viennese underground or the desperate search for an apartment in Berlin's racist, classist housing market: Queer perspectives drive these narratives, be they breathtakingly animated, imaginatively staged, deeply joyful or amusing explorations of gritty realities that debunk the romanticisms of the urban hustle.
