In-Person Superfest Film Festival in Berkeley
October 22, 2022
Superfest Film Festival will be held in-person at Freight and Salvage 2020 Addison Street, Berkeley CA 94704 on Saturday, October 22nd featuring the following films:
Divine Decadence, Darling
Denmark, 2020 (Experimental Short, 14 min)
An alternative version of the traditional cabaret’s staging of politically edgy and playfully erotic entertainment. “Divine Decadence, Darling” invites the audience through surreal, staged scenarios in an empty nightclub with five disabled performers.
Alpen
UK, 2020 (Experimental Short, 5 min)
Alpen offers images of Emma, who lives with chronic pain, moving through familiar pathways in her kitchen. Her movements are complex and choreographic as she shifts her weight between surfaces. The imagery is accompanied by a poem that she wrote about her day-to-day movement and the sound of her steps and the wheels of her stool are overlaid with sounds of snowboarders in the Swiss Alps. These different layers resist binary divisions of space and time into before and after pain.
Don Julio’s Nails
Columbia, 2021 (Dramatic Short, 10 min)
Don Julio has Parkinson’s disease and can’t clip his own nails. When his daughter is unable to help out, Don Julio goes on a journey through his residential complex, looking for a generous soul who can clip his nails.
Seife
Italy, 2021 (Dramatic Short, 15 min)
Hadamar, Germany, 1938: A young man with disabilities is taken to a clinic for some “experimental treatments.” This film provides a personal glimpse into just one of the many lives lost in Nazi Germany’s T4 program.
Pas de Deux
UK, 2021 (Experimental Short, 6 min)
Follow Brogues and Sparkly Toes on their adventures of love, loss, dancing, and lots of mud! A heartbreaking LGBTQ+ tale told entirely through feet!
Our First Priority
*Advocacy Award*
USA, 2021 (Dramatic Short, 10 min)
A horrifying tale of one girl’s experience of medical gaslighting and the avenging angels that keep our universe in balance.
The Multi
USA, 2021 (Dramatic Short, 18 min)
An isolated Black Deaf woman has constructed a world of order to keep a childhood trauma buried deep in her psyche. Then an unexpected turn of events forces her to confront her demons from the past, who threatens to destroy everything she has built.
Don’t Come In… Yet!
Australia, 2021 (Experimental Short, 10 min)
As a wheelchair user, Jake is constantly watched over by his dad and lauded for his bravery by everyone. Now 18, he’s finally been left at home, without supervision, with his best friend June. Together, they plan to use the opportunity to have sex. But his overbearing dad, a spider and an ageing football superstar present some complications. Most of all they reinforce the macabre nature of life as a disabled person in society.
Exit Strategy #5
*Innovation in Craft Award*
USA, 2020 (Experimental Short, 9 min)
An origin story and the rebirth of an identity after trauma. Blood, desire, and fucking. The fifth in a series regarding the filmmaker’s emotional and physical traumas.
