Lust*Art

Queerness propels us forward, making us feel that this world is not enough to live and find peace. The utopia of this space is what makes queerness so fundamental to imagining novel ways of living and loving each other. Creating an exhibition that combines feminist ideas and queer utopias means creating a safe space where lust and dream can be as real as past wounds. Collective Exhibition 25.–27.08.2023

Eröffnungsabend: Heidilicious One More Time

We mark the opening of the 16th Luststreifen Film Festival and celebrate queer feminist filmmaking from Switzerland! We look around or are caught gawking. Looking as pleasure or crossing borders, as confrontation with societal standards or in furtive glances at a past crush. Even Bob the plumber doesn't look half bad in the fetish club and a snail gets unexpectedly deep insights into an ear. Followed by a talk with the filmmakers present.

Kurzfilmwettbewerb: Gimme Porn

Reimagining our flesh and desires as sites of erotic resistance, we serve a lustful, sensual and devious dive into sex, pleasure and bodies that were never meant to be and yet we are. As sex workers, sluts, queer, non-binary and trans* perverts, we reclaim the spaces we inhabit, making them beautiful, erotic and revolutionary.
