LEVIDIS
Iris Glitzer / Germany / 2023 / 12 min
Saturday, November 9 / 5 pm / Grand Illusion Cinema / TICKETS
A jewel of architecture, Villa Levidis hosted dozens of iconic film shootings from the 60s to the 80s in Athens. Some decades later, on a sunny day, a daydreamer rests on its ruins while phantasizing about cruising with a stranger in the now destroyed mansion. Queer lust meets the golden era of Greek mainstream cinema in a dialogue around gender roles and social norms.

Director Biography – Fucking Conflicts
Fucking Conflicts started its journey in the heart of the Covid-19 pandemic, in winter 2020. What seemed as a spontaneous film shooting (“Input Error”) initiated a solid collaboration between Officer Flower (they/them) and Iris Glitzer (they/them), resulting in the production of further juicy films, with a soft spot for storytelling, a DIY approach and a cinephile toolset. Fucking Conflicts’ work have been presented at porn film festivals around the globe (such as PFF Vienna, PFF Athens, PFF Berlin, PPFF Warsaw, San Francisco PFF, CineKink NYC, SECS Fest, UNCENSORED etc.) as well as in broader themed festivals (La Guarimba, Ars Electronica Festival, Luststreifen etc.).
In 2023, “Stalking Athens” won the international short factual film award at the Athens Porn Film Festival, after being nominated in several categories along with other films of the studio. Fucking Conflicts wishes to further explore landscapes of lust, representing and staging sexualities through a queer feminist lens.
