Inside

An intense festival evening with queer cinema and psychological impact

The Queer Film Festival brings Blue Film, an uncompromising chamber play, to Gelsenkirchen on September 14, 2026. In the cultural space die flora, a concentrated festival evening meets a film program that addresses queer life realities, identity, and desire with great intimacy and tension. The festival takes place from September 10 to 16, 2026, and is part of the nationwide network of Queer Film Festivals, supported by the Queer Cultural Foundation.

A program with attitude

Blue Film by Elliott Tuttle follows Aaron Eagle through a night full of emotional friction, past, and control. The film is described in the festival context as an intense drama about trauma, identity, and the boundaries of desire. This mix of artistic clarity and social relevance makes the Queer Film Festival a unique multi-day experience for film lovers who want to think as well as watch.

Festival atmosphere in die flora

The cultural space die flora is firmly established as a venue in the Gelsenkirchen cultural scene and offers barrier-free access, a disabled parking space, and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. This creates the appropriate framework for a quiet, focused cinema visit with clear festival organization and an atmosphere that emphasizes depth over flashy spectacle.
