Hamburg International Queer Film Festival
by Becky Tan

The 34th Hamburg International Queer Film Festival played October in four Hamburg cinemas as well as in Kampnagel, displaying 81 films including short films. It was so well organized, starting with the excellent festival magazine with instructions and descriptions, so that attendance was a pleasure. This is especially incredible considering that all work (except for one or two exceptions) was done on a volunteer basis. Their organization, the Push-Up Club, is made up of over 80 donors and novel members are welcome. Seating was by choice and almost a third of the 49 movie programs were sold out. Viewers rated films on a scale of one to four, with four being the best (See winners below).

Most amazing was the possibility to see all films online for a whole week post-festival, October , for six euros per film.

There were drawn-out feature films enjoying success around the world such as JOYLAND. Directed by Saim Sadiq, starring Ali Junejo as Haider, this Pakistani film shows us three generations of five adults and four children living togeth

Intl. Queer Production Festival

In this light, it is even more memorable that the festival is organised almost entirely by volunteers who devote their free time to such a worthy project. This approach has proved successful: every year, the festival attracts approximately 15, visitors to screenings of around works, ranging from narrative main attraction films to documentaries and short films. From political to experimental to light-hearted, the eclectic mix of genres is combined in its egalitarian approach and LGBTQIA+-friendly choice of topics. Films are shown in the imaginative version with English s

About Hamburg and its gay life

The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg – Germany's ›Gateway to the World‹ – is the second largest city in Germany after Berlin, and also an independent state. It is located about km southeast of the North Sea along the river Elbe and has the largest seaport in Germany. Because of the port, the pent-up river Alster and the numerous canals and smaller rivers Hamburg is one of the cities in Europe with the most bridges.

The settlement history of Hamburg began with the Saxons in the 4th century BC. In the 9th century a castle named Hammaburg was built in this place, from which the specify Hamburg derived. In the 12th century the settlement was given the port law (Hafenrecht) and special trade privileges which allowed Hamburg to develop into a flourishing commercial center duri
