Queer short film evening
On this evening, three short films, produced by the Chemnitz Film Workshop and directed by Beate Kunath, take a look at the lives of queer people in Chemnitz and provide a deeper insight into the world and zeitgeist of years gone by.
Whether documentary or feature film format - these short films show parallels to the present day and the associated challenges in the everyday lives of queer people. They are an authentic testimony to queer film art and everyday life across different eras, especially in the 1990s and 2000s, and are absolutely worth seeing.
Living, loving, getting to know and getting along can be experienced up close here.

Lesbian Gay - Chemnitz (1994, 17min)
90s feeling in Chemnitz - lesbians, gays and trans people in the centre of things and yet on the fringes of society. Short interviews about sexuality, other lifestyles and acceptance of sexual minorities are shown, in which randomly selected people from the street, in queer meeting places and retreats express their opinions and take a stand.
Chance to seal our Love (1997, 43min)
Love, CSD, the fight for freedom and social recognition - a short feature film about getting to know and love each other, distance and reconciliation, separation and parting - in the mirror of society in 1997. The story of two women. It all begins with a first eye contact and ends in a brilliant happy ending.
The old people sit in summer (2009, 23 min)
A poetic journey through time about an old lady, her deceased partner and their granddaughter. Shared memories, a suitcase and the objects it contains inspire the granddaughter to write a poem, which she films in black-and-white images - a detailed homage to an intimate life together that is not recognised by the public.
