Belvedere Museum's Blickle Kino screens queer 'Home Movies' program on June 11, 2026

On June 11, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM, the Belvedere Museum presents "Queering the Belvedere: Screening. Film und _ #9: Queer 'Home Movies'" at its Blickle Kino. This event features four contemporary films that reinterpret the amateur "home movie" format through queer perspectives. The program includes Tibor Köhne's "Piccin Gemellone" (2024, 19 minutes), Emil Huppenkothen and Marie Luise Lehner's "Wenn die Schneeschmelze einsetzt" (2026, 11 minutes), Jan Soldat's "Open House" (2025, 9 minutes), and Rom Sheratzky's "Follow Back" (2025, digital, 23 minutes). These works explore diverse interpersonal relationships while skillfully expanding traditional home movie conventions to shape queer realities. The Blickle Kino, described as one of Austria's oldest museum cinemas, provides a venue for examining intersections between artist film and other visual, applied, and time-based art forms. Admission requires a free event ticket, though participation itself carries no cost. Historically, home movies captured personal events, family activities, and vacations on formats like Super8, 16mm film, or video for private viewing—a practice now largely shifted to mobile phones. The curated short film program examines how cinema relates to music, performance, and architecture from both historical and contemporary viewpoints. "Film und _" serves as an open invitation for exchange, focusing specifically on artist film and its productive interfaces with other artistic disciplines.
