To start this year, Constant celebrates the publication of the manual "How to Cypher Sex: A Manual for Collective Digital Self-Defense Guides". Constant supported the collective Cypher Sex in the making of this "how to" manual that will lay out strategies on how to write locally-oriented digital self-defense guides aimed at empowering LGBTQ* people, women, and sex workers. The manual is intended to help the writing of localised guides with basic outlines, resources, links, suggested approaches and interview questions relevant to different international locations that advocate self-empowerment through online identity management and other digital self-defence strategies.
Cypher Sex is a queer feminist collective aimed at empowering LGBTQ* people, women, and sex workers in their use of online services and digital tools through workshops, guides, and personalized consultancies. Constant happily invited Oddd to design this installation in the window.

Podcast Ilis Herstory
Lesbians have always got involved in every struggle, but they are forgotten and erased from history. The International Lesbian Information Service, a network founded in 1980, undeniably made a big contribution to visibility and progress on rights. But who's heard of ILIS?
After listening to an episode from the podcast, a Q+R with the audience will follow: lesbian genius versus invisibility, letting go of mixed-gender work? Because histories repeat, it's up to us to make HERstory today!

Club Kid
A wayward thirty-something, part-time party organiser, part-time drug dealer, played by the director himself, suddenly finds himself with a 10-year-old son, Arlo, whose existence he was unaware of, and even though he was convinced he'd never slept with a woman. Forced to take care of the boy, he has to change his life, slow down a bit, and find other ways to deal with his emotions than the ones he puts up his nose...
A candid (and non-judgmental) portrait of the party scene, Club Kid explores the individual journey of its central character, torn between his love of clubbing and the demands (and joys) of fatherhood. A debut film that is both touching and hilarious, filled with iconic and memorable moments.

Miss Carbón
Based on true events, Miss Carbón chronicles the struggle of a trans woman who defies convention on two fronts in her Chilean village. She becomes the region’s first female miner, challenging a local, patriarchy-fueled superstition linking women to the risk of mine collapses.

Bouchra
Bouchra, a Moroccan filmmaker living in New York, is paralysed by the fear of the blank page. A call from her mother in Casablanca brings memories flooding back. Their exchange, tender yet complex, becomes the engine of a creative breakthrough, opening the way to a journey through family ties, lineage, and the first stirrings of love. This animated film, which is formally inventive and imbued with a powerful blend of sensuality and melancholy, explores the memories of coming out through the lens of a mother-daughter relationship, set in a world of anthropomorphic animals.

Discussion: towards accessible queer cinema
Brussels' queer culture often has to make do with limited resources – and this contributes to further marginalisation of people with disabilities and larger people. How can we do better?
In a socio-economic and political context where Brussels' queer culture struggles to gain traction, and where it is often sustained by precarious and/or volunteer work, it constantly faces the following challenge: how to go on with limited resources?
This often necessitates shortcuts and compromises—and often, this highlights the factors of marginalisation. Among those most affected by these choices are people with disabilities and larger people.
Stairs with no lifts, seats that are too small, cramped spaces, oppressive lighting and noise, lack of subtitles, spoken presentations without sign language interpretation or microphones, illegible information, a lack of disability-related stories in programmes…
Yet, it is sometimes possible to create better access to our community events with limited resources. And sometimes, there's no secret: no investment = exclusion of one or more groups.
Let's talk about it! What are the current possibilities for improving access to queer culture for people with disabilities and larger people? What needs to change?
And on a smaller scale, as we approach our 25th anniversary, it's high time for Pink Screens to ask itself: "How can we make Pink Screens more accessible?" by continuing to build on what we've started within the festival, but also on what has been established within the broader LGBTQIA+ community.

No Rest For The Wicked - Brief Somebodies
It's 1862 on the Faroe Islands, and Baldur lives in a remote fishing community. His life is turned upside down when a rugged whaler arrives, awakening an unquenched desire in him. When tragedy strikes the desolate shores, their forbidden passion unleashes unsettling forces. For they refuse to let their love be buried; they will fight to the death - and even beyond.
No Rest for the Wicked is deliciously gothic, brilliantly blending gay romance, period drama, and vampire story to create a genre film that reinvents the rules.

Pink Memories: from Stonewall (1969) to the emergence of AIDS (1982): queer cinema between self-affirmation, activism and sexual liberation
Hidden, ashamed, and ostracized for decades!
In the 1970s, films began to openly address the lives and demands of gay men, lesbians, and transgender people.
One of the catalysts for these changes was the Stonewall Riots, during which gay men, lesbians, transgender people, sex workers, and homeless youth who frequented the bar took to the streets to respond to daily harassment by the police.
Other factors, such as the sexual revolution and the rise of feminist movements, contributed to the emergence of films in which gay and lesbian characters are (almost) like any other fictional characters, and activist films advocating for equal rights.
On the occasion of its 25th edition, the Pink Screens festival invites you to explore this brief period when screens flourished with films free of taboos and increasingly provocative—films featuring liberated queer people, far removed from the victimization that had been their lot in previous decades.
This diverse—though by no means exhaustive—retrospective is scheduled primarily at Cinematek throughout November.
A lecture by Didier Roth-Bettoni, author of the book “QUEER CINEMA 1895–2025,” will be held on Tuesday, November 3, at 7:00 p.m. at LaVallée (39 Rue Adolphe Lavallée - Molenbeek). The theme will be: FROM STONEWALL (1969) TO THE EMERGENCE OF AIDS (1982): QUEER CINEMA BETWEEN ACTIVISM AND SEXUAL LIBERATION.

Mouse
At the start of her senior year of high school, Minnie lives in the shadow of her best friend, Callie - a radiant and popular girl. When Callie suddenly dies in an accident, Minnie is left adrift. She grows close to Callie’s mother, Helen, a classical pianist who offers to coach her for the high school cabaret being held in Callie’s honor. Amidst grief, emerging desires, class differences, and the need to reinvent herself separated from the friend she lost, Mouse delicately portrays an adolescent learning to become her own person.

Drifting Laurent
Laurent ends up at a deserted off-season ski resort, overcome with anxiety. The only reason he’s there—and not somewhere else—is because his sister’s girlfriend has an unoccupied family apartment there. From unlikely encounters (the wonderful Béatrice Dalle) to a more or less botched romantic adventure with a local photographer, the film is often funny and zany. Its greatest strength is its ability to blend this farce with moments of intense melancholy, tenderness, and despair. It sometimes brings Guiraudie to mind, but with more gentleness, warmth, and grace.

OUT LAWS + RED ELEPHANT
OUT LAWS — Lexi Powner, James Lewis
NA/UK — 2025 — 79’ — DOC — VO EN — ST FR
Out Laws is a documentary investigation that follows several activists as they challenge laws criminalising LGBTQIA+ people in their respective countries. All of these countries are former British colonies. We delve into the archives and discover that the laws enacted by the former colonial power are the roots of queerphobia in these societies. This prompts us to question certain assumptions and stand up to governments. The film exposes, on the one hand, the political forces attempting to force queer people back into the closet and, on the other hand, the movement that resists with courage, pride, and solidarity.
RED ELEPHANT — Iqran Rasheed
BE/HU/PK/PT — 2026 — 20’ — DOC — VO EN/FR/UR — ST EN/FR
The violence of Belgian bureaucracy towards queer asylum seekers forces them to turn their identity into evidence and their traumas into testimonials.

In a small Chinese town with straight lines and a cold climate, bodies begin to stir. The slightly eccentric characters make their way through this normative, stifling place, often entering into improbable and astonishing relationships. The film is both lyrical and idiosyncratic in its portrayal of freedom and desire in an extremely normative society. The storylines become intertwined, and the queer narratives burst at the seams even as they're held back. Banned in China, this film is a ballet in black and white, a poetic middle finger to an oppressive regime.

CASTRATION MOVIE. CHAPTER III. JUNIOR GHOSTS – PREMORPHIC DRIFT; A FRAGMENTARY PASSAGE
CASTRATION MOVIE. CHAPTER III. JUNIOR GHOSTS – PREMORPHIC DRIFT; A FRAGMENTARY PASSAGE — Louise Weard
CA — 2026 — 126’ — FIC — VO EN
Castration Movie explores the overt transphobia of Izzy, a straight woman grappling with her partner Tiffany’s transition. It’s a premise that might put us off—were it not for the fact that the film is directed by Louise Weard, a trans woman filmmaker from the same artistic collective as Jane Schoenbrun. Weard’s take on this transmisogynistic spiral proves to be masterful, oscillating between cynicism, empathy, fascination, and horror, and ultimately provoking a true catharsis for anyone who has endured such nonsense.

A quarter of a century. Pink Screens is all grown up and what a joy it is to look back. On this special occasion, we also looked around. This is how we met the Beijing Queer Film Festival, also celebrating its 25th edition this year! Our two festivals have come together to create a joint programme of shorts from our previous editions, exploring identity in all its forms and the collective memory of our communities. Let’s celebrate 25 years by revisiting who we were, understanding who we are today, and catching a glimpse of who we might become.

THE GOLDEN YEARS
Sebastiane
Sebastiane is a young soldier in a Roman army filled with men who are often naked and engage in homosexual acts. The centurion, Severus, tries to seduce Sebastiane, who rejects him. A reinterpretation of the life of Saint Sebastian, the film is a peplum with unapologetically homoerotic themes, whose visual beauty and power are striking. Transcending the issue of gender and linking rebellion with homosexuality, Derek Jarman already addresses sexuality here in its most political dimension.

Icons, 20 years Designer of the Year
In 2006, the first “Designer of the Year” award was presented in Belgium. The prize was originally established by the Interieur Biennale and the magazines Knack Weekend and Le Vif Weekend, and was awarded that year to Brussels-based designer Alain Berteau. Over the years, various partners joined the initiative, and it grew into a well-established reference in the Belgian design landscape.
Twenty years later, the list of laureates reads as a best-of-the-best of what the country has to offer in contemporary design: from ceramic designers and silversmiths to product and lighting designers. Concepts such as innovation, originality, and ecology are often central to their work. The list includes names such as Muller Van Severen, Alain Gilles, Nedda El-Asmar, Julien Renault, and Linde Freya Tangelder. On the occasion of the 20th edition of the title, all twenty names come together in an exhibition at MAD Brussels, on view from 1 October to 12 December.

La conscience politique - Un portrait de Geoffroy de Lagasnerie
La Conscience politique (Political Consciousness) offers an analysis of our present through a portrait of the philosopher Geoffroy de Lagasnerie. Combining fragments of his life, readings, and archival footage of queer struggles, this film shows us the moment when political thinking is shaped by lived experiences. It unflinchingly examines the judicial and punitive system, family and sexual norms, and institutional and police violence. But above all, this film is a portrait of friendship as a way of life and a form of resistance, as well as an invitation to collective struggle.
The film will be followed by a discussion with director Léolo Victor-Pujebet and Geoffroy de Lagasnerie.

Haute & Freddy
Haute & Freddy is the dazzling brainchild of Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp. The duo released their first single "Scantily Clad," sparking a devoted fanbase. The song has landed them on Spotify playlists Lorem, Obsessed, and the cover of Fresh Finds paving the way for their second single "Anti-Superstar," which has also been embraced with equal support and looks on multiple Spotify playlists leading to them being named on Spotify’s Artists To Watch for 2026. Their third single “Shy Girl” is currently their most streamed track and has been licensed 5 times over for film & tv projects.
Fast forward to now, and the comment sections are buzzing with fans speaking in Ren Faire lingo, while their shows are filled with attendees crafting their own jester hats, as a mime clown joyfully twists balloon crowns for the rest of the Royal Court—aka H&F’s loyal followers. With their debut album on the horizon and their sold-out Mini Grand Tour under their belt, Haute & Freddy’s momentum is picking up speed. Fans devoured the recently released videos for “Shy Girl”, “Sophie” and “Freaks.” More festivals and tour dates in the works for 2026 when the album drops. Their latest single is a new anthem “Dance The Pain Away” out now, with their debut album Big Disgrace coming out via Atlantic Records on March 13th.
Their love for theater, obscure synths, and underground club culture runs deep, infusing every track with an audacious energy. The duo moves through their music like runaway carnies, crashing through the veneer of polite society with all the flair of an 18th-century escapade.

La Bola Negra
Spain, 1932, 1937, 2017. In three different times, three homosexual men face a society which does not offer them the same freedoms. Their stories reach out to each other, connected by pain, desire and memory. An uncompleted work by Federico Garcia Lorca inspires a film which expands its world into a queer, romantic, poetic tapestry. Eras intertwine and the love stories which history tried to erase continue to echo. An unmissable film from Los Javis, key figures in Spain's contemporary queer cinema.

Lucky, Apartment
Together for a decade, Seon-woo and Hee-seo have bought an apartment on the outskirts of Seoul. When Seon-woo loses her job after an accident, Hee-seo, still in the closet to those around her, must cover the loan repayment on her own. Meanwhile, Seon-woo follows a foul stench and finds the corpse of their neighbour, then becoming utterly obsessed with the dead woman's story. An intimate and enchanting portrait of two women on the verge of collapse: one haunted by her fears of living alone and forgotten, the other by society's expectations.

Conférence: La vie à l’œuvre. Entretien avec Didier Eribon et Geoffroy de Lagasnerie
On the occasion of the screening of La conscience politique, a portrait of Geoffroy de Lagasnerie directed by Léolo Victor-Pujebet, and the reissue of Didier Eribon’s biography of the renowned philosopher Michel Foucault, Pink Screens brings together these two major figures of contemporary thought for an extended conversation at Cinema Palace.
The discussion will begin with the fundamental question of the interplay between thought and life, particularly when those lives are queer lives. How does theoretical work take shape at the intersection of a personal journey, social experiences and a gay life? How can life nourish or embody thought? And, in turn, how can political, sociological or philosophical thinking radically transform a way of life, or even propose new ways of living?
This encounter builds on the questions raised by cinema when it goes beyond simply portraying lives or ideas and instead shows how thought takes shape through bodies, gestures and stories, making the screen a unique space for dialogue between work and existence. An encounter between art and life that echoes one of Foucault’s powerful final ideas, shortly before his death from AIDS, concerning the possibility of an “aesthetics of existence”: can we make each individual’s life into a work of art?
Didier Eribon is a sociologist and philosopher. He is the author of numerous works, including Réflexions sur la question gay, Retour à Reims and Michel Foucault, 1926-1984, a new edition of which has recently been published in Flammarion’s Champs collection.
Geoffroy de Lagasnerie is a sociologist and philosopher. His works include 3. Une aspiration au dehors. Éloge de l’amitié, Par delà le principe de répression. Dix leçons sur l’abolitionnisme pénal and L’âme noire de la démocratie. All three were published by Flammarion.
