Toni Karat

An exploration of different forms of physical imtimacy.

Non-binary film maker Toni Karat invited queer and sex-positive people of the ‘Berlin porn bubble’ for this impressive documentary about narcissism and self-love. In authentic and touching self-reflective interviews ten protagonists who are as diverse as possible – lesbian, gay, queer, trans, non-binary and often over 50 – tell their sexual stories and contemplate their personal journeys and struggles. It’s an almost philosophical little masterpiece with a lot of honesty and authenticity on both sides of the camera.

Hermannplatz subway station, Berlin Neukölln. A FagDyke is looking out for a hook-up. Cruising. Soon they are spotting a cool leather dyke and follow her right away. When their eyes meet it’s clear what has to happen now — but when they find each other in an abandoned and filthy attic everything happens quite differently than expected… but super hot for sure!

Corona Apocalypse Berlin - Lonely queers cruise through Kreuzberg and Neukölln, rattle at the doors of closed-down bars and clubs and even have to flee from the police for violating SARS-CoV-2 infection protection regulations! And the shoot for the campy sex scene in a Kreuzberg parking garage was also quite exciting, as the actions did not go unnoticed by some of the inhabitants of the neighboring high-rise! The film is accompanied by Toni Karat's grim and breathless soundtrack and the latest post-punk release by R Talin!

A punk boidyke, handcuffed and facing the wall in a sparse, empty room, breathes heavily with anxiety and expectation.
