Luststreifen

Programme

We show a wide variety of queer films! Be it films that work against exclusion, discrimination, underrepresentation or misrepresentation - or aesthetic representations, diverse bodies and fluid ideas of queer sexuality. In this year's program, you can enjoy seven feature-length films and three curated short film programs. In addition to the films, the supporting program offers plenty of entertainment. The aim is to put taboos on the table, discuss them and discover new things in a relaxed atmosphere - the parties (Lust*Voll 1 + 2), the Porn Roundtable and the Lust*Markt are waiting for you!
