OT301-Supernova // 20:45 // € 8,50
God Has AIDS / Deus tem AIDS
Gustavo Vinagre, Fábio Leal, Brazil, 82’, 2021
Language: Portuguese Subtitles: English

Forty years after the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic, a person infected with the virus is no longer automatically condemned to death; the disease has become a chronic condition. But in Brazil, where many still directly associate HIV/AIDS with homos*xuality and a promiscuous lifestyle, the stigma surrounding the disease remains high. President Bolsonaro’s hateful rhetoric in recent years has fueled “serophobia,” and his budget cuts are hitting educational programs and clinics. As a consequence, more than 10.000 people a year in Brazil die from this treatable disease.

Seven artists and an activist doctor—all HIV-positive—speak out against the fatal ignorance, but also against racism in the gay scene and the total invisibility of women with HIV/AIDS. Through dance, performance, and poetry, they give HIV-positive people a face. They even manage to take something positive from their serological status: a better understanding of their bodies and their mortality. (Synopsis and still via IDFA)

Retrospective: Anyab (Fangs)
Egyptian filmmaker Mohammed Shebl’s ‘Anyab’ (Fangs), released in 1981, is a remake of the musical cult classic ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’. Packing on more vampires and deemed almost too ho******ic to handle, ‘Anyab’ is not only a lost gem of q***r cinema, but also a social commentary on the situation in Egypt, from unemployment of youth to class war, intersecting politics and s*x in the most peculiar ways.
