Drifting in between
Sexual identity is probably the most important element of self-identification: who we are and who we think we are. The right to determine this seems as obvious as the act of breathing. There are probably no people who would like to regulate breathing or the ways we breathe. Drifting in between section of the festival wanders between desires, norms, and cultural interpretations of sexual self-identification – from the moving Iranian Letter to my Mother (Amina Maher) to the uncompromisingly sincere City/Body of Desperation (Simona Kasprowicz). This is one of the must-see festival sections.
