Rosa von Praunheim: Nicht der Homosexuelle ist pervers, sondern die Situation, in der er lebt Rosa von Praunheim | Missing Films

Director Rosa von Praunheim, who passed away in December, leaves behind an extraordinary cinematic œuvre consisting of more than 150 works. This summer, the Goethe-Institut is presenting his filmography at several French-speaking cities around the world, honoring the arguably campiest and queerest protagonist of the New German Cinema. In Montréal, Paris, Nancy, Lyon, and Brussels, various facets of Rosa von Praunheim’s radical life and work will be explored together with local partners.

In collaboration with the Belgian Cinematek, the Goethe-Institut Brussels has curated a retrospective featuring around twenty films from all phases of his career. It focuses in particular on humor as a subversive strategy of queer resistance. Together with contemporary queer intellectual voices, such as camerawoman and icon of queer-feminist cinema Elfi Mikesch, we will unpack the provocations, ambivalences, and groundbreaking relevance of his work.

Below, the curators of the Belgian Cinematek’s queer film programme, OurStory, reflect on Rosa von Praunheim’s work within the Belgian context:
