‘24.out of competition
2023 | Brazil, Uruguay, France | 92’by Lillah Halla
LEVANTE
When volleyball player Sofia seeks an abortion, illegal in Brazil, she finds support from her queer team in fighting fundamentalists. The ongoing surge of right wing ideologies fuels a culture war, turning the body into a contested space. Daily lives, like Sofia’s, are affected by it. Halla’s energetic debut celebrates the importance of community in overcoming intolerance and cultivating self-worth.

The screening will be followed by an after talk. We want to give attention to the connecting potential of (queer) sports teams. We have invited different queer sports clubs for a conversation on the importance of queer community and the role of sport within it.
While sports and playing in a team can sometimes be a source of insecurity for queer people, due to its masculine connotation and its focus on the body, it can also be a space of joy and connection. We will discuss the existing and potential roles of sports within queer community formation.
*After this program you can join us for the queer club night. You can buy combi tickets for the program and party.
