Last Exit Gran Canaria

Director Tim Lienhard comes from a Catholic background, growing up in southern Germany. It was quite later in life that he had found his calling and became a provocative Drag persona and performer. At the age of 64 he mostly celebrates life with men decades younger than him. His journey goes from Berlin through the Torremolinos Porn Festival and the Pride week of beautiful Gran Canaria. In Costa Del Sol Lienhard meets OnlyFans content creators, party goers who came from all over the world to experience the freedom they cannot at home, and also people his own age who tell him their past and present adventures.

Identity, sexuality, growing old and self esteem are the main motives of this daring and exabitionist documentary film. Tim Lienhard manages to leave an impression with his shameless openness and is the inspiration for sexual freedom in this time of conservatism and regression.

Some Nights I Feel Like Walking

Many boys escape their villages and conservative small towns to the big city Manilla in search of a better life, but this city isn’t really waiting for innocent young men and many of them find themselves making a living as sex workers.

When one of them dies, his friends decide to fulfill his last wish – to go back home.

Director and screenwriter Petersen Vargas manages to recreate those youngsters’ experiences, the loneliness of the big city, the danger in sexual encounters with violent clients, the need to belong and the brotherhood forged in misery.

The cast is young and excellent, the cinematography is breathtaking, the music is sweeping and the ability of the director to fully relate with those boys makes “Some Nights I Feel Like Walking” to a powerful and unforgettable cinematic experience.

Rains Over Babel

Babel is a legendary nightclub that is an oasis to anyone who is queer, freak and different in town. La Flaca is Death herself that resides in the club, and she plays with the lost souls that gamble with her through the years. Will they be able to win against death herself?

Director Gala Del Sol’s first full length feature is an intoxicating fusion of alternative tropic dream and modern-day Columbia. Del Sol creates a hypnotic and fantastic world where life and death clash and destinies are rolled with dice. The sexiest of casts is portraying sparkling characters that takes us to a journey full of life which is all wild subversion where each and every one of them fights their own demons and it’s all happening in a retro-punk-futuristic-colorful style full of passion.

“Rains Over Babel” is an ode to the resilience of queer characters from the fringes of society that are fighting for one thing- to be themselves without fear.

The result is sexy, sparkly, daring and ambitious cinema that promises an unforgettable experience.

No Beast. So Fierce.

The Shakespearean tragedy “Richard III” in a queer, daring and contemporary adaptation. A monumental cinematic experience that meant for the big screen and will leave breathless throughout.

Two noble houses, the Arab families York and Lancaster, bring to the courthouse the war that was raging in the streets of Berlin for decades. The York youngest daughter, Rashida, is a lawyer who ends the long-time gang war in a bloody attack on the heads of the Lancaster family. Finally – some peace!

But as a woman, Rashida is only a pawn in the men’s world. As soon as the dust settles on the battlefield, she is destined to follow her traditional family norms and could never take the top spot in the pyramid. Rashida has no intention to bow to the men in her family- she intends to rule. To claim her place she must plot, seduce enemies and kill lovers. Rashida is played by rising actress Kenda Hmeidan and she gives the role a lesbian twist, and many more layers that do not appear in the original play with a touch of Mediterranean history of violence and war. Rashida’s scarred and wounded soul rises from the ashes and dust into a goddess of revenge. Hiam Abbass (“Succession”, “The Old Man” opposite Jeff Bridges, Eran Riklis’ films: “The Syrian Bride” and “Lemon Tree”) plays Rashida’s devoted right hand.
