about war and the love of life, two female fighters describe why this struggle is also one for women’s freedom. Their optimism is contrasted with the ruins of the city.

Raspberry Reich
Bruce LaBruce | 2004 | Germany/Canada | 90' | EN spoken
As hilarious as it is hot, the film showcases
what LaBruce calls "terrorist chic", cult dynamics, and the "innate
radical potential of homosexual expression". The story follows a
contemporary terrorist group consisting of several young men, and a
female leader named Gudrun (after Gudrun Ensslin) who are continuing the
work of the Red Army Faction. They call themselves the "Sixth
Generation of the Baader-Meinhof Gang" and "The Raspberry Reich".
"Reich" is a reference to communist sexologist Wilhelm Reich, and the
term "Raspberry Reich" was coined by RAF leader Gudrun Ensslin to refer
to the oppression of consumer society.
Shown with a short documentary of a police investigation into consensual homosexual sadomasochism.
Music: MC Mustaj
A queer electronic musician and rapper based in Amsterdam, bringing
sexy beats, hardcore bass, souly vocals and tight rhymes filled with
hope, using music to share, to connect, to dance, to release and as a
weapon against the structures of oppression, in particular those of
gender and racism, this society is based on.
