Coney Island - As Primeiras Vezes
Three times she travelled until the last stop on the F line. Each as if it was the first. There she
found a meatless Disneyland, only skin, bone and memories. She thought of Dorothy and her
dog. On her skin she felt the taste of the sea and she discovered new flavours as she dived into
the freezing cold water. Now she fears everything will vanish like a wave that goes and never
returns. Unlike her, I never travelled to the end of the F line. But I can see, hear and feel it. Can
you?

Kabul Beauty
Sofia and Nigina. They’re Afghans, beautiful, proud, best friends, despite themselves and without knowing it - icons of Kabul’s idle youth. Behind the curtains of their beauty salon, the exterior of which has been ransacked by the Taliban, they support a small team and a dream: to protect their last space of freedom. Their salon is situated in central Kabul. Around twenty employees work there, seven days a week. It’s a sanctuary for women: a place where men do not enter. We began filming the day after the Taliban came to power on August 15, 2021. For a year and a half, as the extremists impose new laws on Afghans, especially women, we follow the two friends in their beauty salon and across the Afghan capital: in a park where they are the only ones who still dare to show their faces; on the hilltops where they learn to drive in secret… And then, on the road to exile. The repression becomes too suffocating, too violent. The young women’s quest for lightness becomes a plan of escape…

The lights of a lonely show flicker and illuminate the darkness.
Verbotene Liebe - Queere Opfer der NS-Diktatur
Sexual minorities were oppressed, imprisoned and murdered by the Nazis. Paragraph 175 criminalized homosexual men during the Nazi era - but the Nazis also discriminated against lesbians and trans people. They should be excluded from the national community.

In order to tell their stories, the actor Jannik Schümann and the activists Julia Monro and Kerstin Thost go looking for clues in archives and talk to historians. You will learn how some people managed to live out their identity and assert themselves as queer people during the Nazi era despite the most adverse circumstances.
