Goethe-Institut Cyprus (Ledra Palace Buffer Zone)Queer Wave is curating a special night of short films + discussions, as a response to an invitation from SAFER – a project promoting equitable healthcare practices in Cyprus that prioritise the rights and well-being of all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The selection brings together four Queer Wave titles from the festival’s past three years. These films shed light on an intimate portrait of a young man living with HIV, the intersections between queer and crip, a cis and a trans woman growing old together as romantic partners, and the importance of supportive homes and inclusive healthcare systems to the wellbeing of trans people of all ages.
