Fluidø

Shu Lea Cheang, USA, Germany 2017, 80 Min., English with German subtitles
Followed by a talk with Jürgen Brüning (Producer of FLUIDØ)

Curated by Popo Fan

2060, the government has declared an AIDS-free era. Mutated viruses give rise to ZERO GEN, a gender-fluid group with unique genetic traits. Fluidø unfolds a complex battle involving underground drug lords, glitched agents, and a corrupt government. The film includes explicit representations of bodies and sex, and showcases multiple layers of political power dynamics. In the words of Paul B. Preciado, “in the era of global confinement, digital sexuality, and sanitary surveillance, this queer, cypherpunk science-fiction film “has become the archeology of our present.” (PF)

Jürgen Brüning is a Berlin-based film producer, director and founder of Pornfilmfestival Berlin.
