Un jeune prêtre est déterminé à nier son homosexualité, et il ne fait pas un très bon travail. Pendant ce temps, son ex-amant extraterrestre complote pour transformer la Terre en une planète gay lors d'un événement cosmique et le capitaine Faggotron se trouve placé en plein milieu. Le choc des idéologies culmine dans une orgie de démons gays et un amour qui n'a plus à se cacher.

Non-binary film maker Toni Karat invited queer and sex-positive people of the ‘Berlin porn bubble’ for this impressive documentary about narcissism and self-love. In authentic and touching self-reflective interviews ten protagonists who are as diverse as possible – lesbian, gay, queer, trans, non-binary and often over 50 – tell their sexual stories and contemplate their personal journeys and struggles. It’s an almost philosophical little masterpiece with a lot of honesty and authenticity on both sides of the camera.

It is the year 2060 and AIDS has been eradicated. However, in some, the HIV virus has now mutated into a gene from which a drug can be produced that has become the white powder of the twenty-first century. With a virtually supported scanning system, secret police are trying to identify anyone who carries this gene. Filmed in Berlin, Taiwan-born multimedia artist and filmmaker Shu Lea Cheang’s science fiction dystopia revolves around a struggle to gain control over the production and exploitation of bodily fluids. Her film is like an orgiastic opera; a breathless round of bodies, secretions, performances and sexual acts often performed in the service of an overriding economy. An unusual, largely experimental and deliberately parapornographic drama in which the borders between the sexes as well as homo-, hetero-, bi-, trans- or intersexual are constantly blurred.

A queer metaphysical love story that weaves itself through real and imagined sexual encounters across darkrooms, forest cruising zones and highway shoulders. In these fantastical playgrounds, bodies are free to imagine themselves in a multiplicity of forms as they encounter other bodies without preconceived notions of what those other bodies desire, what they will need, and how they should be touched. While trusting the energetic attraction of bodies towards each other and learning through the encounter, INSTINCT simultaneously asks: what does it mean for a queer body to actively (un)learn what it might assume about another body's sex, gender, and desire?

Berlin-Kreuzberg est le microcosme de Nora. Nora, l'observatrice silencieuse, la suiveuse: lors de fêtes, à l'école, à la piscine, sur les toits et dans les appartements. Nora déambule dans les immeubles d'habitation monotones avec sa grande sœur et ses amis, assistant à des événements qui semblent s'estomper à la lumière de l'été. Des filles qui veulent être minces et jolies, des garçons qui disent des choses stupides pour provoquer ou parce qu'ils sont amoureux. Caméras de smartphone impitoyables et adolescents fragiles. Mais Nora a sa propre façon de voir le monde, et quand elle rencontre Romy, elle comprend pourquoi.
