Focusing on today’s queer life in Berlin, Queer Exile Berlin is the third part of a queer Berlin documentary trilogy by director Jochen Hick following Out in East Berlin (2013) and My Wonderful West-Berlin (2017). The film interweaves the personal stories and ambitions of six queer protagonists in their Berlin exile with historical events and every day issues. The result is a true picture of Berlin as a perpetual place of longing and a challenge for all those who immerse themselves extensively and unconditionally in the queer universe that is constantly reinventing itself in Berlin. A city in constant flux that has become home to a multitude of identities - with gay and lesbian being just two terms among many - that seek alternatives to the heteronormative lifestyle.

The screening is followed by a Q+A with the Darvish.
