Their works resist the expected, search for softness, and play with genre, tone, and form. Some explore queer experience directly, others turn to metaphor, desire, or silence. Together, they sketch a cinematic landscape that’s fragmented, and full of contradictions. Not a history, but a snapshot: of what queer filmmaking in Austria can be today — and how much it still wants to become.
