QFFM | QUEER MIXTAPE – SHORT FILM SELECTION
As you may know from our previous short film presentations in the past, we like to ask you, the audience about your favorite short film of our festival-screening. Our program contains e.g. the winner of the TEDDY Short Film award at Berlinale 2017 MIN HOMOSYSTER, as well as the complex animation movie THE WRONG END OF THE STICK (2D animation with Live-action) or a romantic confession in HERCULANUM.
The winner of this audience vote will be screened again at QFFM | 2nd Queer Film Festival Munich from 12.-15. October 2017.
We also like to welcome you to celebrate our first Queer Weekender with us! After the screening we gladly introduce Munich’s finest and queer HELGA-DJs until 1:00 a.m at the cinema foyer.
