Power games ensue.

Dispatches from Berlin’s Queer Utopia/Dystopia

July 15th, 2024 Goethe-Institut New York

MIX NYC presents a screening of queer experimental films from our comrades in Berlin. In this cinematic glimpse of one of our favorite European daydreams, Berlin-based artists explore the city’s social fabric through yearnings of the promise of utopia. As the realities of life and the austere state of the world seep in to reveal isolation, loneliness, and loss, perhaps an optimistic look to the future or a nostalgic recognition of the activism of the past will offer hope to fuel our intersectional struggles and stand in solidarity with one another?
