Queer Film Nacht

In the organizer's words:

Once a month, we raise the LGBTQ+ flag 🏳️‍🌈 particularly high: Queer Film Night (almost) always takes place on the last Monday of the month!

Salzgeber's Queer Film Night presents a new non-heterosexual film every month.

Program:

Monday, Feb. 24: BABY

18-year-old Wellington is released from juvenile detention center. His parents have moved away during his two-year sentence and have left him no contact. Wellington has to fend for himself on the streets of São Paulo. He meets 42-year-old sex worker Ronaldo in a porn movie theater. The experienced escort takes the young man under his wing and shows him the red light district, where Wellington also begins to work under the name "Baby". An ambivalent relationship develops between the two, characterized by closeness and care, but also by dependencies and latent dangers.

Monday, 31.03.: LAYLA

London in Pride month. Drag performer Layla performs at a dreary corporate event that is only promoting itself as queer-friendly for advertising purposes. Here, of all places, Layla is flirted with by the young marketing expert Max. Although the two come from different worlds - Layla is non-binary, has Palestinian roots and lives in an exciting queer artist community; Max is gay, comes from a conservative British home and has mainly yuppie friends - a real love affair develops between them. But when Layla tries to adapt to Max's lifestyle in order to be more "compatible" with him, conflicts arise. Max begins to question himself and his privileges as a white cis man for the first time. Does their love even stand a chance?
