Queer Youth traces moments of first becoming: first love, secret night escapes, stolen time, and first heartbreaks. The programme lingers on fleeting encounters and fragile emotions, capturing youth as a space of intensity, risk, and discovery.
Curated also with young audiences in mind, the films move between tenderness and vulnerability, portraying queer youth as self-determined, complex, and deeply felt — experiences shaped by desire, uncertainty, and the search for one’s own rhythm."

Across borders and broken systems, queer refugees continue to love, dream, and resist.
This program presents intimate short films that explore exile, belonging, trauma, and hope through queer migrant voices.
Together they create a moving portrait of resilience, showing how queer life survives — and transforms — even under the most fragile conditions.
By centering stories told from within these communities, the films challenge dominant narratives about migration and identity.
They remind us that behind every status, border, and label is a human being searching for safety, dignity, and connection.
This program is both a space of reflection and an act of visibility.

A future out of sync. Bodies that glitch, mutate, or refuse their assigned roles. Queer Sci-Fi & Horror Shorts uses genre as a queer tool — to unsettle norms, bend reality, and imagine other ways of being. Monsters, machines, and uncanny worlds become mirrors for desire, fear, and transformation. These films don’t offer comfort or clear answers; they embrace the strange, the unsettling, and the unknown. In these speculative visions, queerness survives by changing, resisting, and re-inventing itself.
