Queer Film Festival - Maspalomas: A touching festival night about new beginnings, identity, and hope

On September 12, 2026, the cultural space "die flora" brings the Queer Film Festival with the film Maspalomas to Gelsenkirchen. The evening combines festival atmosphere with strong arthouse cinema, intelligent contemporaneity, and a film that resonates long after with its warm tone and emotional depth.

A powerful film at the heart of the Queer Film Festival

Maspalomas tells the story of Vicente, who must reorder his self-determined life after a stroke. The comedy-drama by Moriarti, in Basque-Spanish original version with German subtitles, focuses on subtle nuances, societal relevance, and a deeply human portrait of a late, painful yet hopeful new beginning.

Queer cinema with character and stance

The Queer Film Festival presents current national and international films with LGBTQI+ references in the cultural space "die flora" and is part of a nationwide network. This embedding makes the evening special: curated programming meets an open community, cinematic discoveries, and the unique energy of a multi-day experience focused on visibility and exchange.

A place for intense cinema moments

Since 1995, die flora has been synonymous with cultural events, films, discussions, and socially relevant formats. With barrier-free access, an elevator, and designated disabled parking spaces, the venue offers an easily accessible setting for a quiet, focused cinema evening. This creates closeness to the film and space for reflection, conversation, and shared impressions after the credits.

Conclusion: A festival evening that touches and lingers

Maspalomas is not a loud event but a clever, emotional festival experience for all who appreciate strong stories and queer cinema. Anyone wanting to experience new beginnings, identity, and hope on the big screen should not miss this evening in Gelsenkirchen.
