Inter*Story – A Piece of Activism
AT, 2022, 43 min., German (without subtitles)
Film production: Djordje Čenić, Nicole Baïer
With: Luan Pertl, Magdalena Klein, Noah Rieser, Tinou Ponzer, Tobias Humer
“In the mainstream, inter* people are usually portrayed in a distorted and voyeuristic way. But what are their own stories that they want to share? Why have the performers become activists and vice versa? Why do they fight for human rights, visibility and the removal of taboos for people with variations in gender characteristics? What are the untold stories? In the setting of a TV talk show, the intersex performers share their own stories and experiences, sometimes crass, sometimes sad, sometimes funny or even absurd.”
The four sold-out performances were filmed and turned into a film. What does the cinematic translation of this evening of theatre look like? Where does this look at the topics of the intersex performers take us?
Salzkammerqueer
In order to facilitate the exchange of experiences among like-minded people and those looking for support in rural areas, the women’s centres are helping to establish a queer community in the Salzkammergut with this project. The aim is to initially provide a home base and infrastructure for an active community that will exist beyond the duration of the project. The second goal is an experimental short film series and artistic photo positions that convey queer life in the Salzkammergut via social media.
