Queer Wave 2022 at the Goethe-Institut

The Goethe-Institut Cyprus supports the 3rd edition of Queer Wave, which starts with a launch event at Rialto Theatre on 21 November and continues with film screenings at three locations in Nicosia between 25 November and 4 December. The screenings on Friday 2 December will take place at the events hall of the Goethe-Institut in Nicosia and feature the following German short and feature films: 

19:00 - Shorts VI: Michael Brynntrup: A Super-8 Queer Pioneer (79') + Q&A with the director

21:00 - The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (124') (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1972) 

During Queer Wave 2022, Cyprus’s LGBTQ+ audiences and cinema lovers will be reunited to enjoy a carefully curated programme of short and feature films: festival hits as well as works by new voices from the international queer cinema scene. As always, this year’s selection offers visibility to a wide spectrum of LGBTQ+ realities, through works of fiction, documentary and animation. The selected films include five works by Cypriot filmmakers, two of which are local premieres. Beyond screenings and discussions with filmmakers and other guests, the festival will incorporate a rich lineup of parallel events with local queer artists at its core.
