Rote Ohren fetzen durch Asche

Flaming Ears
Ursula Puerre, A. Hans Scheirl, Dietmar Schipek, Austria 1991, 84 Min., German with English subtitles

Curated by Michi Stütz

Flaming Ears is a pop sci-fi lesbian fantasy feature set in the year 2700 in the fictive city of Asche. Through endless darkness, rain and war, the film follows the tangled lives of three women: Sy, comic book artist; Volly, a performance artist and sexed up pyromaniac; and Nun, an amoral alien with a predilection for reptiles.

It´s a story of love and revenge, and an antiromantic plea for love in its many forms. It´s also a story laced with sex, violence and a pulsating soundtrack, a cyberdyke movie, stimulating both the body and the brain.
