Talk Straight: The World of Rural Queers

GER 2003, directed by: Jochen Hick, 99 min, with English subtitles, rating: 12

The film accompanies four gay men in rural Swabia as they go about their everyday lives with family, at work, local pub nights and in the church choir – and reveals the attitudes they encounter here. Trips to the city and abroad offer brief relief from the claustrophobia of small-town life, where anonymity is impossible. The remarks from the heterosexual community that they endure – at times bizarre and at times frightening – illustrate widespread prejudices, even in cities.

Featuring: Hartmut Alber, Stefan Braun, Uwe Furtwaengler, Richard, Erika Micale
