DIR: Jochen Hick, Germany, 98 min., 2016
The movie reflects on Germany’s infamous paragraph 175, which made sexual acts between men a criminal offense. The law took effect in 1872 and was only abolished in 1994. Nevertheless in West Berlin - where men were at least allowed to dance with each other - more and more venues opened up and became a refuge for countless gay citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany since the sixties.
In this documentary Jochen Hicks explores the progress of the gay scene from its beginning until now using so far unpublished and oftentimes provocative archival material and interviewing countless witnesses of time.
