This new Shorts selection wants to highlight issues that are more specific to Arab and Middle Eastern queers. It offers stories about identity, faith, family, and love that force us to talk about oppression and guide us on our way to find compassion. The films aim to shed light on the realities of different minorities and in this way lay the foundation for wonderful friendships and cross-border solidarity.

Far too often we have lamented that lesbian love is underrepresented in film. This year, we want to actively counter this problem and dedicate a separate short film series to lesbian diversity and lesbian cinema. The compilation fundamentally questions heteronormative views and creates space for female desires.

The rise of transphobic campaigns forces us to raise our voices again and say loud and clear: There is room for EVERYBODY under the rainbow! With this compilation, we want to increase the visibility of trans realities and actively invite people to join us in creating open and safe spaces for those affected by transphobic activities. Inclusion is not just a buzzword, inclusion means action. So, let us come together, let us be creative, and let us celebrate diversity!

The queer Asian community has a whole lot to offer, but is often overlooked in queer film culture. This selection therefore wants to increase visibility and take a close look at political issues and subcultural practices. It wants to get to know different cultural contexts and their very own perspectives on queerness and intersectional experiences. This selection guarantees bright, shiny, proud and astounding films that fight for inclusion and respect.
