#16 Serving

Carnival as protest, rap as survival, vision as flight – the films in this program explore the double meaning of “service”: submission to state and military structures and self-expression that resonates in queer culture. Service appears as discipline inscribed on bodies, yet to serve is also to resist: a choreography of power and vulnerability, where duty and desire collide, while presence, style and performance turn into forms of defiance and survival. !!
