- A city always known as a magnet for alternate lifestyles, Berlin has been attracting people of different and interesting "genders" since the 19th Century. Director Julia Ostertag, camera in hand, takes us through a tour of unusual (and some not) clubs throughout the city during a period of a few months. We encounter known personalities, drag queens and other night creatures, all a tad peculiar. Sexuality without borders, and breaking taboos are the main themes addressed. The documentary, above all, questions the concept of "normalcy" and the many prejudices established by society as a whole, and the different segments of society shown on film.
- Struggling with her aimless existence, a young woman is taken to a parallel universe full of bizarre characters and transgressive rituals. A story of transformation, a trip to the inner self, from deepest desires to darkest nightmares.
- A marooned area turns into a parallel universe filled with obsession, violence, and anarchy. This is where Saila lives in an abandoned high-rise block. Time and space become blurred while voices over the radio report on disasters and catastrophes . A surreal underground epos with a haunting soundtrack and one of film history's bloodiest love scenes. Julia Ostertag's full-length feature film debut was shot in guerilla-style in East Berlin's industrial wasteland.
- A visual and musical rocket ride through the queer music underground telling the story of two girl electro hip hop act Scream Club and their network of friends.
- On the occasion of a film festival the film maker travels with her digital-video cam through the USA and is searching tor the American dream. Whoever happens to come into her lens-view is asked, and apparently the topic is quite sacred to some Americans. But not to the film-maker, since it becomes more and more obvious that her own American dream consists primarily of one desire: finally to have sex in America. Soon, if possible, and good. But is it all about love? Or is it about America? Each character follows his own dream in this experimental road-movie, and one of them even comes true in the end.
- This documentary pictures a globally interconnected and political music scene, built on autonomy and solidarity, which has declared war on capitalism and the mainstream culture. Whether it s squatters in Barcelona, antifascists in Moscow, inhabitants of self-governed trailer parks or activists of the CRASS collective - they can all be brought down to one common denominator: their protest and music as means and tool to express it. In an authentic and complex contemporary document, the film makers tell about members of this scene - their motivations, shared aspirations and ideas of utopia and how they create a parallel universe that functions under its own rules.
