When we encounter our own or others’ sexuality, we frequently find ourselves in situations that need to be tamed, disenchanted, or simply experienced in order to be able to fully accept and enjoy this sexuality. A reflective approach to one’s own/other’s body seems to have a profound therapeutic potential and a capacity for transformation. Sometimes we lack the language to clearly communicate our needs (“Silent film”). Other times, consciously defining what is private/public/shared (“We Bites Us”) can change our perception entirely. Films presented in this section can be difficult (“Scars”), touching (“Jackob and Jim”), and disturbing (“The Divine Right to Stagnation”), but let us watch them with empathy and compassion, without unnecessarily distancing ourselves from their subject. And if, after the screening, we look at ourselves/others in the same way, it means that what is uncomfortable doesn’t bother us so much at all. It’s worth finding out if whether that’s the case.
