Die satanische Sau (Satanic Sow)

Film program, DE 2025, 85 min., dt. OV+engl. UT

By: Rosa von Praunheim

With: Armin Dallapicolla, Katy Karrenbauer u. a.

Berlin’s gay film legend Rosa von Praunheim once again graces the PFFB with his bittersweet sarcasm, this time in a biographical essay. In the crude setting of his vintage apartment overcrowded with stuffed animals, Rosa’s alter ego reflects – between desirable young men – on the 150 films of his life. At the same time, explores questions like is there “sex after death”, what God has to say about it, as well as other essential philosophical considerations of age and sexuality. As always, it’s trashy yet intelligent, walking the fine line between bad taste and genius.

Supporting film: Fisting Club EP2

DE 2025, 20 min.

By: Shu Lea Cheang, Producer: Jürgen Brüning, Camera & cut: Jörn Hartmann

Following “Fisting Club EP1” (2018), Shu Lea Cheang gathers seven 60+ young fisters to join the club in “Fisting Club Club EP2”. The eight rules from Fight Club (1999) are appropriated and modified. Fisting is uplifted into a rite of passage, leading to mutual trust and reciprocal sexual pleasure. Raise up the fist, we claim fisting sex as an act of self-emancipation, an affirmation of collective empowering.
