GEGENkino & Cry Baby (Institut fuer Zukunft) present DESIRE WILL SET YOU FREE
DESIRE WILL SET YOU FREE—this stands for two different things this night: the party motto and the title of the new film by Yony Leyser being screened. Ezra, an US-American writer, comes to Berlin. Because of David Bowie. Here, he meets Sasha, a Russian immigrant working as an escort. Both of them are drifting through the queer subculture and the excessive underground of the city, doing their job or seeking. With its many playgrounds for marginalised cultures, the city of Berlin becomes the main character of the film. Afterwards, following the film screening and a Q&A with director Yony Leyser, we make room under the main floor dome of IfZ to present an after-show line up that will hit you like a wrecking ball. We are bringing out a heavy-hitting special guest (surprise!) and a program to satisfy both your disco playground and forward-thinking electronic needs. As a producer, singer, performer and visual artist, L.A.’s Abyss X is inspired by CGI art and future club music. Her honest lyrics and soulful voice blend seamlessly with catchy and complex neo-pop beats, creating her own energizing style of R’n’B. The Berlin-based newcomer Ziur’s rippling, cavernous compositions resemble the playful and neurotic daydreams of a club serial killer. Just coming off a European tour with Peaches late last year, they will surely be an act to watch out for in 2016.
