SÁFICAS SAFICXS International Lesbian Short Film Festival from Argentina is coming to Berlin!
Known for its selection of queer films from Argentina and around the world, the festival brings together a wide range of stories, perspectives, and cinematic approaches. For this Sunday afternoon screening, Rosario Palma – community teacher, filmmaker, and director of SAFICXS – has compiled a selection of six short films from last year’s festival edition.
Together with Berlin hosts Kathrin Dröppelmann and Jyl Franzbecker, Rosario invites audiences to watch, be moved by, and reflect on films by Andrea Martínez Dorr, Jose Matamala, Julia Cohen Ribeiro & Sofian Lanaro, Maria Jose Juncos, Rita Hostt & Maruja BustamanteRi, and the film collective Silbando Bembas.

Between screenings, there will be time to talk, grab a snack, and hear more from Rosario about the films and the context in which they were made.
The event also responds to the growing threat of violence against queer people and the increasingly precarious situation facing queer individuals and organizations in Argentina.
Everyone interested in film, diverse perspectives and experiences, shared conversation, or simply an entertaining rom-com, is warmly invited.
