In the face of structural violence and conflict, and in times of crisis and war it seems all the more important to us that film-making and art also holds a potential of creating alternatives worlds and visions. The festival has provided a wonderful selection of film that engage with multiple forms of violence and demonstrate the strength of endurance and the creative modes of resistance. We could have chosen so many of these films for the award.<\/p>\n<p>If we are today celebrating films that strengthen queer practices of community building and sustaining relationships, this is because we see the need for supporting desires for another world, for the future as open in various directions. The films we have chosen present futures in the plural through performing non-linear temporalties.<\/p>\n<p>The three Lolly Award Winners of the 16<sup>th<\/sup> XPOSED Queer Film Festival Berlin:<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1849 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Foto_3_UPS-Vanesa-Toca-300x126.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Foto_3_UPS-Vanesa-Toca-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Foto_3_UPS-Vanesa-Toca-1024x428.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Foto_3_UPS-Vanesa-Toca-321x134.jpg 321w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Foto_3_UPS-Vanesa-Toca-600x251.jpg 600w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Foto_3_UPS-Vanesa-Toca.jpg 1917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Uma Paci\u00e9ncia Selvagem me Trouxe At\u00e9<\/strong> (A Wild Patience has taken me here) by \u00c9rica Sarmet<br \/>\nBrazil, 2021<\/p>\n<p>A Lolly Award goes to the Brazilian film <strong>Uma Paci\u00e9ncia Selvagem me Trouxe At\u00e9<\/strong> (A Wild Patience has taken me here) by \u00c9rica Sarmet. The film depicts the livability of lesbian lives as a matter of community and intimate friendship. It explores how a non-hierarchical intergenerational encounter may develop out of mutual curiosity. Current possibilities depend on valuing memory and enlivening the archives. The rhythm of this film supported by an amazing soundtrack, carries the viewer in nonlinear moves through a weekend of pleasure, joy, and experiencing a polyamorous relationship. Sexuality is not limited to one-on-one encounters but comes along as an entanglement of moving bodies and blue satin folds caressed by the camera that does not fragment the picture. The sex scene is embedded in a series of other communal scenes: in the bar, in the kitchen, at the beach \u2013 so that sex becomes part of everyday life sustaining the politics of care.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1854 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/still-2-Anya-Kneez-300x168.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/still-2-Anya-Kneez-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/still-2-Anya-Kneez-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/still-2-Anya-Kneez-299x168.png 299w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/still-2-Anya-Kneez-600x337.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Sitt el Beit (The Lady of the House)<\/strong> by Anya Kneez<br \/>\nUSA, 2021<\/p>\n<p>In an ode to the great Lebanese diva Fairouz and home videos, this joyful and wistful film follows the mother and host of a queer, Lebanese-diasporic family gathering, set in 1991 Brooklyn. The filmmaker uses her own captivating abilities as a drag performer to grapple with the feeling of home and queer family structures in the diaspora, filtered through musical performance and the texture of VHS recordings. A ravishing and affective space-time capsule, full of nostalgia, wit, music, cooking and conversation that manages to find a very special way to embrace the past and the present at the same time, while not losing grip of the space in between them.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1855 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Aninsri_C-Ratchapoom-Boonbunchachoke-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Aninsri_C-Ratchapoom-Boonbunchachoke-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Aninsri_C-Ratchapoom-Boonbunchachoke-1024x765.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Aninsri_C-Ratchapoom-Boonbunchachoke-225x168.jpg 225w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Aninsri_C-Ratchapoom-Boonbunchachoke-535x400.jpg 535w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Aninsri_C-Ratchapoom-Boonbunchachoke.jpg 1382w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e34\u0e19\u0e17\u0e23\u0e35\u0e22\u0e4c\u0e41\u0e14\u0e07<\/strong><strong> (Red Aninsri; Or, Tiptoeing on the Still Trembling Berlin Wall) <\/strong>by Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke<br \/>\nThailand, 2020<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kathoey Ang works as a spy and is supposed to gather intel on an enemy of the state, disguised as a gay cis man. The film by Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke asks what it means to find one&#8217;s own voice. In doing so, he draws on the Thai tradition of dubbing, which was common in B-movies in the 70s\/80s. Somehow, Ang&#8217;s target Jit suddenly speaks in his own voice. This breaks the mold of the formal framework of the film, as well as the societal framework of the question which identities are acknowledged. Thus, Ang&#8217;s life is also questioned, and they go on an intrepid search for her own identity. It is this movement of searching, the brittleness and uncertainty that make up queer perspectives. Our identities are not linear, not secure, and always in motion. Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke gives his characters the courage to embark on this search to find an identity with which they can relate to each other. In this failure he allows the two protagonists to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Mention<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1848 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sestre_Still_45-Barbara-Daljavec-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sestre_Still_45-Barbara-Daljavec-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sestre_Still_45-Barbara-Daljavec-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sestre_Still_45-Barbara-Daljavec-252x168.jpg 252w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sestre_Still_45-Barbara-Daljavec-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sestre_Still_45-Barbara-Daljavec.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>SESTRE (SISTERS)<\/strong> by Kukla<br \/>\nSlovenia, 2020<\/p>\n<p>With ten clear principles, a group of three young sworn virgins declare war on patriarchy. Every day, the three of them give their all at training martial arts, to defend themselves and stand by their sisters. Despite all its toughness and clarity, the film shows their vulnerability within the regime of gender that they strive to overcome. It\u2019s that necessary solidarity of sisterhood, which makes Kukla Kesherovics film so special. When the three are aided by a trans* woman at the end, it becomes the starting point for principle number 10: Sisters. A tender, raw and wild film about solidarity in patriarchy.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><strong>8<sup>th<\/sup> Queer Short Film Fund: Uncanny Home by Eric Bitencourt<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1850\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1850\" style=\"width: 277px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1850\" src=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC_8341-Kopie-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"277\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC_8341-Kopie-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC_8341-Kopie-1024x669.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC_8341-Kopie-257x168.jpg 257w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC_8341-Kopie-600x392.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1850\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Lolly Awards Jury Kareem Baholzer, Dan Dansen, Djamila Grandits and Antke Engel with Eric Bitencourt (middle).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Revisiting memories and places from the past.
