The Goethe-Institut is thrilled to partner with The Brattle and Wicked Queer for this special program of film screenings, featuring groundbreaking contributions of German filmmakers and offering a diverse array of films exploring the lives and experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and communities. Curated by Anne Dymek, Harvard University, this series is a rare opportunity to see some of the most important queer cinema from the first half of the 20th century alongside groundbreaking work from the 1970s through today. Dymek and her students will provide introductions to each film, creating a forum for thought and conversation. The wildly unpredictable and uncannily gorgeous films of lesbian auteur Ulrike Ottinger are legendary for their sensational costumes and set design. In DORIAN GRAY, French cinema icon Delphine Seyrig plays the sinister head of a media empire that seeks to create its own celebrity—and then destroy him.
