Filmabend in der HAKI "Joyland"

In the organizer's words:

HAKI e.V., Queer Self-Help Kiel and QUREMI invite you to a film evening in the HAKI center followed by a discussion. The film "Joyland" (2022, France/Pakistan) by Saim Sadiq will be shown.

"Joyland" by Saim Sadiq tells the story of a young man who secretly works as a dancer in an erotic variety show and falls in love with the trans performer Biba. The film deals with the struggle with social expectations, traditional gender roles and images of masculinity. What is particularly impressive is how quietly and subtly it unfolds a revolutionary effect by questioning taboos on sexuality and identity. The kiss between the two led to "Joyland" being banned in parts of Pakistan, reflecting social repression and resistance to change.

Film length: 126 minutes / FSK: 12 / Free admission.
