Master Class with actress and Black Lives Matter activist Funmilola Fagbamila (USA)
Funmilola Fagbamila, artist, actress and Black Lives Matter activist from the beginning and one of their strongest voices, speaks about her own specific identities and what it has meant to create subversive art as a Nigerian-American woman. There is a lot of cultural dialogue around the existence of “cancel culture“. Funmilola explores why this phenomenon seemingly exists in an information era that presents news as headlines and tweetable statements – as opposed to nuanced breakdowns of nuanced subjects.

GERMAN PREMIERE "Masking Threshold"
Conducting a series of experiments in his makeshift home-lab, a skeptic IT worker tries to cure his harrowing hearing impairment. But where will his research lead him? Masking Threshold combines a chamber play, a scientific procedural, an unpacking video, and a DIY YouTube channel while suggesting endless vistas of existential pain and decay. Glimpse the world of the nameless protagonist in this eldritch tale, which is by no means for the faint of heart.
