Homeland: a night of films curated by Candice Nembhard for all fruits ripe series. 

Homeland brought together the work of directors exploring Germany’s regressive attitudes towards racism, class and ethnicity through the lens of queer relationships, migration, housing and grief. The works ask us to reconsider the liberal label of modern Germany by digging into its past and combing through the details.

The evening included discussions with select filmmakers and producers from the screened films.

This edition of afr series was hosted by Vivid Projects and is part of LGBT+ History Month.
