At the hospital the administrative staff are confused by Elias. They have even accidentally created two patient profiles on their system, one labeled Male and one labeled Female. Doctors come into waiting rooms sometimes calling out for \u201cHerr\u201d sometimes \u201cFrau\u201d. Every medical experience is an encounter with the gender binary. How does Elias deal with being a trans person with a medicalised body?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kate Blamire is a chronically sick queer film maker and writer living in Berlin. Their film work experiments with the lived and political experiences of sickness and explores medical systems, healing and friendship. They studied documentary film making at the self-organised school FilmArche in Berlin. Their first experimental documentary film Flare (2023, 27 min) is a poetic adventure through landscapes of autoimmunity and accessible film making as a tool for healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_af6a9b6a\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2><strong>Where the Night goes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1703\" src=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wherethenightgoes-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Where the Night goes\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wherethenightgoes-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wherethenightgoes-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wherethenightgoes-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wherethenightgoes-253x168.jpg 253w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Wherethenightgoes-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Director: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silvia Maggi<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Synopsis: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elliot and Sea are two queer people in their 30s and 40s. They fnd themselves walking along a desolate road near a lake in Lu\u0308bbenau. As they walk the night falls and they share their stories and thoughts with each other, finding solace in the companionship of a fellow wanderer. They arrive at a dance hall where their journey is supposed to end. Inside, the dance hall is dimly lit, with a single spotlight illuminating the center of the room. Georgette Dee is singing \u201cMann in meinen Armen\u201d* and a few people are dancing. It&#8217;s here that they finally understand that they were together on this night for a reason, crossing the mysteries of life and death.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silvia Maggi is an Italian filmmaker based in Berlin.

Silvia Maggi explores human feelings and behaviours in relation to social and political needs.

Using humour, performance, and poetry, Andra tracks their evolution from a young, rising star in Bandung to an adult living a private life as a kindergarten teacher in Berlin. The film maps the limits of expression in the early 2000s media imaginary and the gendered constraints that Andra often found themselves in, as well as the slow unlearning of their identity. Using the narrative tools of archive, theory and pop culture, the film celebrates Andra in the present moment, in a state of new growth and joy.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charmaine Poh is an artist from Singapore working across media, moving image, and performance to peel apart, interrogate, and hold ideas of agency, repair, and the body across worlds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her current focus, THE YOUNG BODY UNIVERSE, is a series of enactments considering the potentialities of the feminist techno-body. Her work centers the affects of vulnerability, desire, and intimacy from the vantage point of subversion. Charmaine grew up as an actor studying international relations and visual anthropology. She developed a photography practice using documentary and ethnographic methodologies before looping back into using performance as a driving force. The birth of THE YOUNG BODY UNIVERSE stems from the artist\u2019s experience as a child actor in Singapore in the early 2000s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She is a co-founder of the magazine Jom. In the fall of 2022, she started her PhD at the Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin.

In the style of nature documentaries, a narrator comments on their actions in a humorous way, juxtaposing animal and human behaviour, zoology research and queer subcultural codes and experiences. The film is a celebration of both diversity in nature as well as queer culture and art forms, with a tongue-in-cheek invitation to reconsider our assumptions about what is \u201cnatural\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jo Sordini (b. 1992 in Italy) is a transmasculine artist living in Berlin. Their performances, movies and objects are part of a playful investigation into the social constructs that surround us. Queer politics and aesthetics are at the center of their work: Sensual creatures, objects and images create multilayered narratives in a colorful and often surreal do-it-yourself aesthetic. Ultimately, they hope to create spaces and narratives that break up limited and normalized visions of the present and future. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we are happy to announce the finalists for the 9th Queer Short Film Fund.
