CONTENT WARNING:

Groundbreaking transgender comedian, Ian Harvie is unafraid to joke about subjects no other comedian has ever touched. Harvie unveils his first-ever live standup comedy concert film, poking fun at topics from top surgery to his fear of public restrooms to his active sex life.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Ian Harvie's debut stand‐up comedy concert film, Superhero, is the culmination of his very personal journey of having been born a girl and later becoming a self‐made man. It’s Ian's facile sense of ease, not just his gender‐bending presence that makes his humor groundbreaking; and has lead him to make history on more than one occasion. It’s these very qualities that attracted the notorious Margaret Cho to publicly rave about Ian’s work and have him as her opening act for years. Ian is 'quite possibly the most unique comic in the country' says Frontiers Magazine and yet his jokes strike the core of all shared human experiences.

For Chinese parents, finding out that their kid is gay usually presents a major tragedy, with the big majority utterly unable to accept the homosexuality of their son or daughter. However, during recent years a fresh rainbow wind has been blowing over the Chinese mainland: a pioneer generation of Chinese parents has been stepping up and speaking out on their love for their gay kids. This documentary features 6 mothers from all over China, who talk openly and freely about their experiences with their gay and lesbian children. With their love, they are giving a whole new definition to Chinese‐ style family bonds. NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE.

In 'And You Belong', acclaimed director of Gender X, Saila and Noise & Resistance Julia Ostertag delivers a visual and musical rocket ride through the queer music underground telling the story of two girl electro hip hop act Scream Club and their network of friends. While Scream Club´s music has been the soundtrack for a decade of underground fun, friendship and activism, Julia Ostertag created a fascinating document on a new queer self‐esteem through original footage, archival footage, music videos and photographs. The scene that has been affected and inspired by Scream Club is evident in the supporting protagonists including Sunday Luv, Nuclear Family, BadKat, DJ Metzgerei, Heidi Mortenson, Nicky Click and Joey Casio. Co‐Produced by Jürgen Brüning.
