SUPERLEBBAN (2004, 4 min) av Aktivistkollektivet Eufemia
En trailer till Eufemia Film Fest 2004.
Filmen handlar om den lesbiska superhjälten Superlebban, som föddes 2003 i samband med att Erika Gustafsson skulle vara konferencier på Lesbisk Festival. Erika skulle stå på ett lastbilsflak och med hjälp av dans hålla igång en demonstration som gick uppför Avenyn. Någon timme innan start slängde Erika på sig lite grejer som fanns hemma, bland annat sydde hon fast pärlor på magen och gjorde en mantel av orange manchester. Åren därpå återkom Superlebban på festivalen, nu med ny tjusig mantel sydd av Linda Egeberg.

SUGAR OIL PINE WATER (2021, 14 min) by Tove Pils
A group of queers in northern Sweden are summoned to perform the ritual of the lesbian odyssey. They are united by queer experiences and dreams and by their relationship to the north. Because desire matters. Because place defines.
A tribute to those who have gone before, who walk beside, who have our backs. Those who have made and make it possible for us to live our lives.
Pine needles for the wild longing for freedom within us
Oil for queer desire
Sugar for friendship
Water because we all belong together
This ritual because we need to take care of each other
Language: Swedish
Subtitles: Swedish & English
