ROMANTSO GALLERY, ATHENS JUNE 2025 Curated by Konstantinos Menelaou Presented during the 2025 Athens Pride at POWER DANCE PRIDE CLUB In celebration of Athens Pride 2025, The Queer Archive brings a bold and unapologetic film program to Power Dance Club at Romantso—a vibrant selection of queer visibility, resistance, and radical expression through moving images. This curated selection of short films pulses with desire, defiance, sensuality, and raw vulnerability, capturing the multitude of queer voices across the globe. Each screening is a cinematic spark that mirrors the energy of the dance floor—intimate, charged, and subversive. Always Show Courage When Burning to the Ground – Joseph Wilson Roses, glitter, jockstraps. God’s gaze is everywhere—even in a gay sauna, especially when steam veils a trace of danger. In this charged, feverish vision, Joseph Wilson fuses camp with sincerity, staging a divine reckoning in an erotic limbo. Flamboyant, fierce, and fever-dreamlike, it’s a journey between provocation and play, with more bite than a poppers rush. Mochit – Oat Montien A tender, quietly erotic short tracing queer longing across urban Bangkok. With soft, dreamlike visuals and an ethereal tone, Mochit captures the ache of fleeting connection—the glances exchanged, the silences shared—in the liminal spaces of a city in motion. A meditative ode to intimacy suspended in time. Bronski Beat “Why” – Matt Lambert To mark 40 years of the iconic queer anthem “Why?”, Matt Lambert crafts a documentary-style homage that fuses archive with raw emotion. Revisiting Bronski Beat’s radical debut in The Age of Consent, the short confronts the socio-political violence faced by queer communities in the 1980s—while affirming the song’s enduring pulse in the fight for liberation. All the Young Dudes – Slava Mogutin A gritty visual companion to Pet Shop Boys’ cover of the David Bowie classic, directed by Slava Mogutin. Shot in New York’s Lower East Side on a mix of digital and Super 8, the film radiates queer punk energy, turning city streets into a nostalgic, electric playground where boyhood, rebellion, and desire collide. Les fleurs du mâle – Hadi Moussally Salma, a mystical figure, confronts a world unwilling to accept her truth. Inspired by Baudelaire’s censored Les Fleurs du Mal, Moussally conjures a surreal plea for grace in a realm where identity is punished. A visual poem on queerness, exile, and the search for mercy—where art becomes both prayer and provocation. Spring at Beach 19 – Antonio Da Silva Spring is when Beach 19 truly comes to life—wild bushes, free bodies, and unexpected encounters in the open air. Antonio Da Silva captures the raw beauty of awakening desire: hairy men basking in natural light, wrapped in the pleasures of naturism among dunes, pines, and sea. A sun-drenched celebration of queer sensuality and freedom. LICORICE – Nicky Miller Dyke Rider and ‘O’ as Fox in a Playroom. Breath play, wax, and roleplay unravel in a lush, tactile space. Licorice is a bold, sensuous reinterpretation of Joreen’s radical Bitch Manifesto—a short film that reclaims “bitch” through queer kink, erotic theory, and feminist insurgency. Dark, glossy, and defiant. Refugees Welcome – Bruce LaBruce Moonif, a young Syrian refugee, steps out of the camp into the uneasy streets of Berlin. As outer threats blur with inner longing, his journey becomes a tense confrontation with identity, belonging, and desire. LaBruce’s lens remains provocative and empathetic, offering a queer reimagining of exile in a foreign land. Tranquila – Leo Adef An intimate, ritualistic video performance featuring the late Perla Zúñiga and Vera Amores (aka Berenice). Through spoken word and experimental sound, Tranquila weaves a collaborative tapestry of queer spirituality, eroticism, fragility, and shared imagination. A shimmering meditation on trans embodiment and desire beyond binaries. POCKET RAINCOAT – Cathal O’Brien Wet, slick, and suggestively absurd, Pocket Raincoat finds erotic potential in something as mundane as a plastic poncho. With campy charm and subversive glee, O’Brien unpacks the hidden kinks of everyday materials—proving that even the most practical objects can turn unexpectedly perverse. DUMP TRUMP – ROSS COLLAB An act of queer protest distilled to a single, raw gesture: someone pisses on a photo of Donald Trump. Graphic, unapologetic, and politically charged, this micro-short embodies righteous anger and unfiltered rebellion—a fierce middle finger to fascism and the sanitizing of queer resistance.

CINEMA QUEER FESTIVAL, Stockholm JUNE 2025 LISA AND THE OTHER ONE (1976) Director: TAKIS SPETSIOTIS Close-ups and medium fixed camera shots of a man dressed in Liza Minelli’ clothes, who mimes to a recording of the music hall song “Life is a Cabaret”. In the soundtrack, the iconical reading of a text exposing the ideological clichés of a family soap opera in a state of crisis. “My little boy, alas, is gay…". THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US AND THE SKY (2019) Director: VASILIS KEKATOS Two strangers meet for the first time at an old gas station. One has stopped to gas up his bike, while the other is just stranded. Lacking money to get home, he will try to sell him the distance that separates them from the sky. BETTY (1979) Director: DIMITRIS STAVRAKAS Betty is a short film that narrates the day in the life of an Athenian transvestite. Through memories from his former life and images from his current one, as the day draws to a close, past and present intersect. But both are dominated by an overarching emotion: the ineluctable loneliness of the person. TEDDY BEAR (2022) Director: KONSTANTINOS MENELAOU A man returns home to Athens, where he spends solitary days in his new flat. As he navigates his loneliness, his voice reveals heartfelt messages to the lover he left behind, capturing the bittersweet emotions of love, distance, and the struggle to move on. TENDER (1997) Director: CHRISTOS DIMAS Greek drag queen hustler shares her perspectives on life and love. PINK (2017) Director: MEMI KOUPA The empty streets of Athens on a Monday evening. A girl returns home from work. A pair of stuffed animals left on a dumpster. An omen? Out of nowhere, a casual encounter with a homeless girl leads to an unusual invitation. A goldfish shows the way to freedom. Who is the savior and who wants to be saved? POST RESTANT OMONIA (1982) Director: HARIS PAPADOPOULOS A mixture of fact and fiction about the nightlife in Omonia Square and vicinity. Moving faces and events that happen in the square were set up and filmed with the real characters who haunt the area and who agreed to re-enact what they live through each night. Finally, true confessions of the people of Omonia, taken from their personal nocturnal experiences, comprise a connecting off-screen link with the various incidents which occur in the square. Curated by Konstantinos Menelaou This film program is a curious exploration of Greek queer cinema, tracing the evolution of LGBTQ+ representation from the 1970s to the present. The curated selection highlights 6 short films that have challenged societal norms, offering nuanced portrayals of queer identity, love, and resistance. Through a mix of classic works and contemporary voices, the program reflects Greece's shifting cultural landscape and the diverse experiences of its LGBTQ+ community. Audiences will witness the courageous artistry that has shaped Greek queer cinema, celebrating its role in both national and global dialogues on identity, acceptance, and human rights.
