First of all, some general information: the workshop will take place in the big hall of the M. Club , just like the film screenings, but the party will take place in the Peter-Weiss-Haus. Details about the events can be found in the respective descriptions, as well as details about the films e. There are no tickets or advance sales for our festival β just come to the programme items that interest you, and feel free to leave a small cash donation at the entrance.
We are a small, voluntary team and organise the QueerFilmFest in our spare time β if you would like to support us, feel free to contact us or send us an email to queerfilmfest gmail. We are looking forward to a glittering film festival, to exciting guests, conversations and encounters, and especially to you! We are aware that COVID no longer plays a role for many people in everyday life, unfortunately this is especially not the case for people from vulnerable groups, which also include many queer people.
A larger event in closed rooms without hygiene measures excludes certain groups of people from attending from the outset. Even though there is no longer a legally prescribed obligation to wear a mask, we urge you, out of solidarity, to always wear a mask during the events and to respect the observance of the known hygiene measures as in the past years.
This is the only way to enable as many film-loving queer visitors as possible to attend the QFF safely. Lotte J. Hiller they is a speaker on the topics of anti-discrimination, awareness and safer spaces. At the University of Potsdam, they are writing their docto r ate in human geography on the accommodation policies of queer asylum seekers in Germany.
In their workshop, Lotte Hiller provides insights into what a Safer Space is and how the term has devel oped to how we understand it today. Using queer voices, the contribution discusses the potential of safer spaces and how they can serve as spaces for storytelling and care work. Again and again, the workshop invites you to reflect and to exchange experiences with each other.
