FUDLIAKS! Tear the Sexes Apart
Jasmin Hagendorfer / Austria / 2021 / 13 min
This hyper-intersectional film is an amalgam of sci-fi creature-flick, campy music video, grotesque comedy, agitprop flick against heterocentric research as well as pornographic subversive statement. “FUDLIAKS! Tear the sexes apart!” is set in an undefined present, in a mysterious laboratory: the Institute for Gender Normalization. The research subject of this neo-conservative think tank: the scientific underpinnings of conventional heteronormative bodies and biologically binary genders. But a new research series turns all that on its head!
Featuring Andrea Nitsche, Benjamin Kornfeld, Benjamin Brommer, & Blanka Daneluk
In German with English Subtitles.
