CRUSHERS
Amidst mud, sweat, and tackles, a space of true equality takes shape. Crushers portrays an inclusive rugby team in Cologne where identities are not questioned, but naturally embraced. The film sheds light on what often remains unseen — that true team spirit can only thrive where no one is excluded. A quiet yet determined tribute to diversity, solidarity, and the deeply human need to belong.

STAMP ON MY THRESHOLD LIKE A COWBOY
When a romantic encounter leaves a filmmaker with unanswered questions, she returns to her former lover and hands over the camera. The former lover becomes the narrator and the cinematographer, with the filmmaker as her subject in a film about the search for love and the ways we are made and unmade by others.

MARKED
This is an experimental film that merges Super 8 and 16 mm formats to examine the presence of queer intimacy. At its center are two shirtless men, locked in an embrace, dancing — a quiet yet radical act. Overlaid with hand-inked 16 mm film, their bodies become both seen and obscured. Through this layered process, Marked reflects on how queer love is shaped, celebrated, and scarred by the society that surrounds it.
