The identities Festival – Vienna’s biennially queer film festival starts today and will continue until June 21st. They show a wide variety of films from documentaries to short animated films, from recent TV movies to older Hollywood classics.
They have several, partly overlapping topics they focus on this year:
- Fascinating Personalities
- Music as Part of the Creative Identity
- Youth and Coming of Age
- Black, Queer Identities
- Sports
- Swiss Movies
- Latin American Movies
And tributes to:
- Yvonne Rainer
- Vanessa Redgrave
I got an early glimpse into the programming of the Festival and (p)reviewed the following films:
- Austrian Coming of Age Short Schwitzen [Sweat]
- Argentinian Vampire Film El día trajo la oscuridad [Darkness by Day]
- Documentaries on Alice Walker
- and Yvonne Rainer
I’ll see many more during the Festival, but I won’t be able to review them quite as quickly as those four. But if you’d like to see what previous years of the festival had to offer, I invite you to browse through my reviews.
I hope I’ll see you there!
