MY BOYFRIEND EL FASCISTA / Eröffnung Duisburger Filmwoche

In the organizer's words:

Opening film of the 49th Duisburg Film Week:

MY BOYFRIEND EL FASCISTA (IT 2025 / 95 min.)

by Matthias Lintner

(German premiere)

Bare buttocks, tenderly caressed in front of an Alpine panorama: intimate love in South Tyrol. But what happens when supposedly shared values drift apart? Matthias Lintner films himself and his friend Sadiel, who, disappointed by communist Cuba, is increasingly moving to the right politically. Between protest actions and heated video calls with other activists, a radicalization takes place that plunges their relationship into crisis. Matthias holds on - to his convictions and to his love for Sadiel.

Followed by a film discussion with Matthias Lintner

The opening of the Duisburger Filmwoche and doxs! will take place beforehand from 7 pm (closed event).
