Premiere Emerging excitement, a dancing body, and the sensual awakening of
sexuality turn this experimental animation film by Florian Maubach into the
nucleus of a transformation process. SPROUT is a stimulating short film that
pushes boundaries but doesn't solely focus on the pleasure event. It's a
metaphorically charged short film that allows an important look behind the
curtain of male sexuality and relationships.CANE Bendix Mignon / DE / 2024 /

crip sex. It’s part of an ongoing (and very practical) research into crip porn,
into what it means to fuck with disability and normalcy. “cane” is an intimate
red-hot crip-sexy hip-grinding rhythmic conversation of a person and their
aid.PHĪNN-PHANG Chen Yu-Ling , Huang Jing-En / TW / 2023 / 2min / DCP / NO DIAL
