| Parties and Events 2009 |
All sorts of wonderful things.Here is the page where you can find out more about our workshops, the parties, and photo exhibition -- all the events that aren't films that are part of the festival. How about a few parties between film sessions?Since it's the big 20th year, we thought we should make sure there's plenty of opportunity to celebrate. Four parties is not a bad start, eh? We thank the organizers for their support, both with their energy and financially. Please support them, because they support us! And of course, have fun!

Part of the "mission" is to look for glamour and space and movement in the gendersphere. The magazine presents portraits and work from comic artists, photographers, musicians, activists, and theorists. Entry: 6 € (part of which goes to the Filmtage)
Saturday 24.10.2009Delicious Biscuits
Delicious Biscuits is Post-70-Soul. When Bendix, Doc Schlucki, Inger and Paco pack their record cases, then usually they're full with Rare- und Northern Soul, or a bit of Hip Hop and Funk. This time they're changing out the collection, because all four share a passion for Modern-Soul and Phillysound, Electro-Boogie and Disco, Nu-Soul and clubby Re-Edits. Indra's dancefloor will be so flooded with Beats that there'll be no time to sit down. Bring your comfy dancing shoes and be ready to shake your thing! A portion of the door takings goes to the festival as donation. www.myspace.com/deliciousbiscuits

Therefore let us just say, that Mutantenstadl - 320 johr lesbisch schwule Filmtoag (you see?) is going to be an absolutely unmissable chance to go crazy, dance a little (or a lot), and just generally have a very memorable evening Southern-German Style.

If you have an appropriate musical interlude to offer, you're very very welcome to do so! Yodelling definitely encouraged.

Snapshots: Rüdiger Trautsch Opening Party in Café Keese, 1996 photo: Rüdiger Trautsch 8th October until 8th of November 2009 To accompany the festival this year, please make time to visit Cafe Gnosa, not far from our festival cinema, Metropolis Kino. This exhibition contains moving and atmospheric black and white photos from festivals past. These "Snapshots" (the photographer's word) capture unforgettable moments, not to mention many of our special festival guests over the years. Rüdiger has been attending our festival since 1996, camera always in his bag, waiting and watching for pictures which capture his (and our) longing for meetings and closeness. Somehow he always manages to take not just a photo, but also represent the special festival spirit, the festival feeling. In his words: "Here I meet the 'others', the queer fluidity, that flows though my soul and into the camera, which captures it." The photos will be auctioned at the end of the show for the benefit of the festival.
A Nachbeben is an "aftershock", and it's our way of catching that last bit of festival fairy-dust before it disappears. |
