Queer flamboyance in Rio de Janeiro, inverted ethnography in Bärwalde and the camera-aided dissections of Sohrab Shahid Saless: this year’s Forum Special programme explores marginalised areas of film history. The "Fiktionsbescheinigung" series shows ten short, medium-length and feature-length films by Black directors and directors of color who live or have lived in Germany. They are complemented by two newly restored films dedicated to Black culture in the US and Brazil.
