programme
It’s year 31 of the Hamburg International Queer Film Festival and things are pretty different. But we aren’t letting it get us down, and with collective energy have put together a small, select programme. For a quick overview, especially during the festival week: our timetable with the complete festival schedule is indispensable for navigating your way through the individual festival days. You can look up events and films by their location, and find details including the timetable, the screening languages, and where to find sign language support.
two weeks of festival!
Germany’s oldest and biggest queer film festival will take place from 20th – 25th October. Numerous reruns await you from 28th October – 1st November in the week after!
online Opening
Tuesday, 20.10.2020, 7:30 p.m., online
Three great short films will be shown: queer animations about safer spaces, feminist body politics and enamoured life dreams. In addition, queer filmmakers and festival friends will report in a special clip on how they’ve experienced the Covid-19 pandemic and talk about the strategies they’ve developed to deal with it.
