About Acting Out: 25 Years of Queer Film & Community in Hamburg
A documentary about the International Queer Film Festival Hamburg that celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2014. The filmmakers have filmed, interviewed, gleaned the archives, watched hours of footage and edited reams of material into a small masterpiece. With its gorgeous shots and sublime soundtrack, the documentary entertainingly brings across both the unique atmosphere and 25-year history, and above all, illuminates the complex mesh that both forms and carries the festival. On another note, the film tries to detect the ways a queer film festival like this has functioned as a platform for unheard voices - and continues to do so in the present. For some people, its sole existence has been a life changing momentum.
Directed by Silvia Torneden, Ana Grillo, Christina Magdalinou, Acting Out: 25 Years of Queer Film & Community in Hamburg leans on a strong ensemble — Angelina Maccarone, Alice Nkom, Axel Ranisch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2014.
