Touching documentary that addresses both the personal and the societal
Saturday the 28th of March 11:00 | Ketelhuis 1 >Tickets
About the documentary:
Bart, the 28-year-old brother of filmmaker Koert Davidse, died of AIDS in 1986. Their Zeeland family kept quiet about the disease and Bart's coming out. Forty years later, Koert explores his older brother's liberated life.
Alongside Koert's emotional, intimate, and personal story, this film also addresses broader themes, such as social developments in the 1980s. What was the impact of HIV on those infected, friends, family members, and medical science?
Brand new documentary on chemsex
Sunday the 29th of March 13:30 | Ketelhuis 1 >Tickets
About the documentary:
Do you need drugs to have ecstatic sex? In the documentary F*CK DRUGS, we see how Davo (22), Anthony (33), and Erik (61) explore and push their boundaries in the world of chemsex. Chemsex is (group) sex under the influence of drugs, a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly common among queer men. Is it about boundless pleasure and sexual freedom, or perhaps also about the fear of true intimacy in an age of individualism and increasing loneliness?
The documentary explores the world of chemsex in a liberating, honest, and ecstatic way, but also looks at it critically and uncomfortably. It poses the question: Is there a way back after blissful sex under the influence of drugs?

About the film:
1982. Twelve-year-old Lidia lives in a desert town in northern Chile with her loving, alternative family; a trans and queer community that runs the local saloon. Flamingo, the star of Mama Boa's variety shows, is at the centre of the outrage when an unknown and deadly disease begins to spread and the alternative community is blamed.
According to legend, the disease is transmitted between two men through a simple glance when they fall in love.
Two couples, a chance encounter; secrets, revelations, passion and desire.
