QUEER YOUTH SHORTS´26

Queer Youth traces moments of first becoming: first love, secret night escapes, stolen time, and first heartbreaks. The programme lingers on fleeting encounters and fragile emotions, capturing youth as a space of intensity, risk, and discovery. Curated also with young audiences in mind, the films move between tenderness and vulnerability, portraying queer youth as self-determined, complex, and deeply felt — experiences shaped by desire, uncertainty, and the search for one’s own rhythm. boysick, Maël CARADEC, English , French with EN subs, 26 min Prom Queer, Dylan Margerette, Fiona De Asis Cerio, Alamat None, Philippines, 2025, Tagalog with EN subs, 05 min Heelflip, Andrzej Habas, Poland, 2025, Polish with EN subs, 17 min Midnight Concert, Sonja Draczynski, Austria, 2024, German with EN subs, 02 min Breaking Away, Simon Helloco, France, 2025, French, 25 min Refraction, Isabella Palacio Mesa, Colombia, 2025, Spanish with EN subs, 10 min January, Jetske Lieber, Netherlands, 2024, 22 min
