Let me apologise in advance for spamming your reading list. I've been lazy and haven't posted my eurOut articles over here in almost two months. :/ Don't worry, I'm not going to re-post every single thing I've written since then. Aaaanyway, here's the first of three.

Review: Searching 4 Sandeep

First published on eurOut.


Searching 4 Sandeep is a really sweet documentary about finding love online. But even more than that it is the story of two women who made their relationship work regardless of their different backgrounds.

Romy Schneider: L'Enfer

First published at eurOut


A beautiful woman is smoking, her face covered in glittering body paint and illuminated by undulating lights. Who is she?

The first name that you think of will most probably not be Romy Schneider. Excusable, but still wrong as you can see in the embedded clip from the movie L'Enfer.

identities 2009 - the lesBian content

Also published at eurOut.




The identities - Vienna's International Queer Film Festival will take place from June 4th - 12th 2009. With more that 60 films screened at three different locations it's not easy to figure out what to watch. Especially since the official program website can not be filtered for lesBian content and that's what I'm sure you're all most curious about! ;)

Ploughing through all those exciting films and compiling them into a readable post turned out to be a lot more work then I expected it to be and so I'm afraid my writeup is a bit late. The festival starts Thursday and ticket presale has already begun some time ago, find out more here.
