Block 3. Queer Experiences of a Body in the 1990s
The film section is an invitation to take a look at queer expression in the context of the concepts of embodiment and sensuous theories, as well as theories of performativity. It focuses on works created in the 1990s, when both queer theory was taking shape and film phenomenology studies focused on the lived-body were developing. Special attention is given to the perspective of queer feminism and its representation within and beyond the wave of New Queer Cinema.

Blue
Against a plain, unchanging blue screen, a densely interwoven soundtrack of voices, sound effects and music attempt to convey a portrait of Derek Jarman’s experiences with AIDS, both literally and allegorically, together with an exploration of the meanings associated with the colour blue.
Pensão Globo
A man faces his approaching death. He takes a journey, his last perhaps, and ends up at the Pensão Globo in Lisbon, where he sets out on an aimless excursion through the city. The film depicts a life in a state of transition.
The film is presented as part of the project Cinema as a Laboratory V co-founded by the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation.
