Redheads. Fire crotches… This film collects samples of their testimonials and their body hair and skin. About being different genetically, about gay gingers, doubly in a minority, from Ireland to Israel to Brazil. A film made especially for ginger lovers.

Domicile
Maéva Ranaïvojaona
Xavier Stentz, Cécile Choumiloff
Behind the locked doors of his apartment, a man faces troubling phenomena, straddling the thin line between fantasy and psychosis. His apartment seems to mutate uncannily as it is incrementally invaded by strange drawings. Painfully, he retches up a creature as black as the ink on the pages… A new union is coming. The creature starts to explore her new surroundings, a place she will eventually make her own.

In Their Room
Travis Mathews
Toby Ashraf, Xavier Stentz
The latest episode continues to voyeuristically document what goes on in the minds and bedrooms of urban gays. In Berlin, Mathews lingers on the tension and circular nature between intimacy and loneliness by documenting a handful of Berliners -some single, some coupled, some hooking up- over the course of one day.

Otto; or, Up with Dead People
Bruce LaBruce
Jey Crisfar, Marcel Schlutt
A young zombie named Otto appears on a remote highway. He has no idea where he came from or where he is going. After hitching a ride to Berlin and nesting in an abandoned amusement park, he begins to explore the city. Soon he is discovered by underground filmmaker Medea Yarn, who begins to make a documentary about him with the support of her girlfriend, Hella Bent, and her brother Adolf, who operates the camera. Meanwhile, Medea is still trying to finish Up with Dead People, the epic political-porno-zombie movie that she has been working on for years. She convinces its star, Fritz Fritze, to allow the vulnerable Otto to stay in his guest bedroom. When Otto discovers that he has a wallet that contains information about his past, before he was dead, he begins to remember details about his ex-boyfriend, Rudolf. He arranges to meet him at the schoolyard where they met, with devastating results.
