Fresh Meet: The Queer Edition

For this edition of Fresh Meet, we've curated six short films crafted by queer artists.

Lars Brinkman - Lola vs Ed
Drag queen Lola steps into Ed's taxi after finishing her work. A conflict immediately arises between them. However, beneath this conflict, something stirs: Ed is incredibly fascinated by Lola's wondrous presence but hesitates to admit to those feelings

Miriam Guttmann - Seahorse Parents
Did you know that there's only one species where the male carries the babies? In the short documentary "Seahorse Parents," four pregnant transgender individuals share their personal stories about what it's like to carry a baby as a transgender man

Gabriella Lichtneker - Dearly Departed
A queer comedy horror about accidental death, interfering ghost hunters and how joy can be found despite the hand the (after)life can deal you.

Renee Schrader - Oaia Neagră
In this documentary film, the turmoils of life in a God-fearing Romanian village are told through a queer filmmaker visiting from abroad, a young single parent wishing to break free from the gender imposed upon him, and the romantic relationship between the two.

Britt Planken - Coming Home
A conversation with various people who identify as queer and feel connected to the LGBTQ+ community. Together, these personal interviews touch on a larger question: what exactly is queer happiness?

Eef Pannekeet - De Bloeiende Herfst
Mae and her wife Nora, both 35 years old, cherish a deep desire to have a child. After a promising pregnancy, however, the delivery ends tragically with the loss of their baby. Mae withdraws from her surroundings, but an unintended revelation from her grandmother brings to light a long-kept family secret that Mae had longed to discover.
