Out im Kino

Presentation by Manuela Kay. Based on the book „Out im Kino – A Guide to Queer Cinema“

The presentation concentrates on volatile issues such as homophobia in film while covering the milestones in queer cinema as well as giving behind-the scenes look at the scandals and gossip in the movie business. Special attention will be paid to film sensations such as the first time inside a “real” gay bar, the first cheek-to-cheek dance between two women – to name just a few.

Appr. duration of the presentation: 100-110 min. of which 50% is made up of film clips, either in the English version or with English subtitles.
