Hinsegin gegn kúgun // Queers Against Oppression

3 short & queer films will be screened!

“Fyrirgefðu” (I’m sorry) started as a graduation film from the Icelandic Film School. It tackles a taboo subject: spousal abuse in queer relationships.
The writer and director, Lovísa Lára, sent the film to a few festivals, and to date it has been screened on five continents and won several awards.
The Q&A with Lovísa and actor Ingunn Blöndal will be in English.

BABES ROLL OUT is a manifest, a celebration and a utopia, created by Brynhildur Thorarinsdottir and Sanna Carlson made especially for queers, bisexual and lesbians to enjoy.
A room where our love, our longing, our sexuality is at the center.
A room where we point a sexy middle finger towards the heterosexual norm of society.
A room in which we are the best existing thing.
