Verbotene Liebe - Queere Opfer der NS-Diktatur
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. More than 50,000 queer people have been proven to have been persecuted. The documentary highlights three poignant fates in the context of Nazi terror: Elli Smula was persecuted as a lesbian, Liddy Bacroff was harassed by the authorities as a "transvestite" and Rudolf Brazda was imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp because of his homosexuality. 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.

Pink Triangles, Homosexuals Facing Nazism
Pink Triangles, Homosexuals Facing Nazism
A documentary that traces the lives of men and women persecuted by the Third Reich because of their sexual orientation. Beginning with the social and political context of the 1920s, when European society still "tolerated" homosexuality, it details the mechanisms of repression and brings to life the hell experienced by the victims in the concentration camps. It also recalls the long road traveled by the victims to obtain the decriminalization of homosexuality and recognition of the harm suffered during this dark period in history. While the film traces the martyrdom of homosexuals and lesbians, it does not fail to place this story in a wider perspective and to bring together in a single memory all the victims of Nazi cruelty.

What if I told you the plot of Vertigo is true, but the story even more perversely rooted in the traumatic history of a dictatorship, in a nation’s obsession with a woman who became a goddess and a savior, and in the real-life attempt to reincarnate her in the body of her successor? Through supernatural means, Isabel Martínez de Perón attempts to extract from the embalmed body of Eva Perón the dose of charisma she lacks.
