Nine films, nine countries and all the ups and downs of human sexuality are presented in this year’s Short Film Competition. Sometimes “crazy love”, anarcho-style by means of brutal car abductions, sometimes poetic starfish romance. See an ironic treatment of the seriousness of BDSM, as well as how there’s no holding back the romantic side of intense S&M play. For some refreshing fun, an animated cat shows us the way to the ultimate pussy and a pair of women have a fabulous time with their painful dentist fetish. An entire lesbian relationship is summed up in 10 minutes from heaven to hell. And in a mini-documentary, a gay filmmaker reflects on his “golden hippie days” and his carefree approach to rape scenes.
