AS I WAS LOOKING ABOVE, I COULD SEE MYSELF UNDERNEATH

CH/XK 2022, D: Ilir Hasanaj, Doc, 62’, OV with english subtitles, DCP

The film depicts the stories of seven Kosovan LGBTQIA+-people from different backgrounds and generations. In their own words, and for the first time in a Kosovan film with their real names, voices and faces, they tell of the discoveries of being queer and their lives in an environment of non-acceptance and exclusion. It is about hopes and dreams, about loss and defeat and about the meaning of home. The contrasts between the stories of the younger and older protagonists reflect the social changes that Kosovo has undergone from the 90ies before the war up to the first Pride parade at Prishtina in 2017.
