Kino Katarina u suradnji s filmskim kolektivom ljubljanskog festivala Rdeče zore u petak, 5. rujna, 2025. s početkom u 21 sat na terasu pulske robne kuće donosi program:
𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐮𝐳𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐞 𝐨𝐤𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐚: 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐤𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐤𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢č𝐤𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐣𝐞 (𝟏𝟖+)
𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐬𝐤𝐢 𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐤𝐭𝐢𝐯 𝐑𝐝𝐞č𝐢𝐡 𝐳𝐨𝐫𝐚 donosi kratke DIY kvirfeminističke filmove s naglaskom na erotiku i pornografiju. Program okuplja izrazito intersekcionalan izbor kratkih filmova koji preuzimaju tijelo, prostor i glas iz ralja patrijarhata, kapitalizma i normativnog filmskog jezika. Polazeći od feminističke kritike „male gazea“ i načina na koji takav pogled strukturno briše marginalizirane subjektivnosti, selektirani filmovi u središte stavljaju queer i druga nenormativna tijela kao aktivne nositelje užitka, otpora i stvaranja novih svjetova.
Od senzualne ekopoetike Planetary Loss, koja isprepliće kolaps planeta s erozijom erotske mogućnosti, do meta-portreta feminističke i queer pornografske produkcije u A Certain Kind, utemeljene na pristanku, autonomiji i tjelesnoj raznolikosti, ovaj program žudnju postavlja kao polje političke borbe. Object(s) of Desire iznova zamišlja seksualnost queer tijela izvan fetišizirajuće objektifikacije, naglašavajući uzajamnu afirmaciju i radost, dok Plenum im Tuntenhaus nudi insajderski, duhovit uvid u queer otpor gentrifikaciji. U She’s the Protagonist ženski* arhetipovi oslobađaju se narativnih okvira i kreću na humoristično putovanje prema samoodređenju. Performativne intervencije GORGON*URBAN proširuju ovo prisvajanje na ulice, pretvarajući javni prostor u kolektivno, nehijerarhijsko mjesto kvirfeminističkog otpora i povezivanja.
Zajedno, ovi filmovi ne predstavljaju samo pokrete za društvenu pravdu - oni ih izvode kroz formu, proces i utjelovljenu prisutnost, čineći samo kino mjestom intersekcionalne borbe i oslobođenja.

Kolektiv djeluje u okviru 𝐌𝐞đ𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐨𝐠 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢č𝐤𝐨𝐠 𝐢 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐑𝐝𝐞č𝐞 𝐳𝐨𝐫𝐞 iz Ljubljane, koji već više od 25 godina stvara prostor za niskobudžetnu feminističku i queer umjetnost koja propituje eksploataciju, diskriminaciju i elitizam u kulturnoj industriji. Svojim programom doprinose festivalskoj misiji izgradnje pravednijeg, uključivijeg i podržavajućeg društva ukorijenjenog u feminističkoj i queer solidarnosti - s hrabrom, beskompromisnom dozom erotike i queer estetike.

Reclaiming the Frame: Unruly Queerfeminist Visions (18+)
This program assembles a fiercely intersectional selection of shorts that reclaim the body, space, and voice from the grips of patriarchy, capitalism, and normative cinematic language. Drawing from feminist film theory’s critique of the “male gaze” and its structural erasure of marginalized subjectivities, these works center queer, fat, femme, and non-normative bodies as active agents of pleasure, resistance, and world-making.
From Planetary Loss’ sensual eco-poetics, which entwine planetary collapse with the erosion of erotic possibility, to A Certain Kind’s meta-portrait of feminist and queer pornographic production grounded in consent, autonomy, and bodily diversity, this program claims desire as a terrain of political struggle. Object(s) of Desire reimagines fat queer sexuality beyond fetishizing objectification, centering mutual affirmation and joy, while Plenum im Tuntenhaus offers an insider’s, irreverent glimpse into queer resistance to gentrification. In She’s the Protagonist, female* archetypes break free from narrative containment, embarking on a humorous journey toward self-determination. The performative interventions of GORGON*URBAN extend this reclamation into the streets, transforming public space into a collective, non-hierarchical site of queerfeminist resistance and connection.
Together, these films do not merely represent social justice movements — they perform them through form, process, and embodied presence, making cinema itself a site of intersectional struggle and liberation.
The Red Dawns Film Collective curates short DIY queerfeminist films with a focus on erotics and porn, showcasing works that reclaim desire from patriarchal, commodified, and normative narratives. We see erotic representation as a site of political resistance — a space to affirm consent, body diversity, sexual autonomy, and pleasure as tools for subversion and resilience.
Our work is part of the International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns in Ljubljana, which for over 25 years has created space for low-budget feminist and queer art that challenges exploitation, discrimination, and elitism in the cultural industry. Through our programming, we contribute to the festival’s mission of building a more just, inclusive, and supportive society rooted in feminist and queer solidarity — with a bold, unapologetic dose of eroticism and queer aesthetics.
Program:
Object(s) of Desire
Liberty Antonia Sadler, UK, 2024, 4’
An intimate, colour-drenched celebration of queer fat sensuality, Object(s) of Desire is a slow and sweet invocation of queer joy, fat pleasures, and friendship. It provocatively questions a fatphobic culture with the invitation: “Do you object?… or indulge?”
She’s the Protagonist
Sarah Carlot Jaber, Belgium, 2021, 14’
Being the mother, the secretary, the lover, the nanny, the baby bottle, the side piece of the main male character is no longer enough for our dear Protagonist. Silenced after exceeding the screen time allocated to female* characters, she escapes with her friend Voice-Over on a humorous journey of rebellion and self-determination.
GORGON*URBAN
Austria, 2022, 5’
This music video channels the raw energy of GORGON*URBAN, an artistic duo whose performative actions and public space interventions challenge the patriarchal order from a queerfeminist perspective. Rooted in non-hierarchical collaboration and the rejection of individual authorship, their work fuses bodies, movement, and urban landscapes into a collective act of resistance — turning streets, squares, and forgotten corners into living sites of solidarity, defiance, and shared creation.
Plenum in Tuntenhaus
Lasse Långström, Sweden/Germany, 13’
An excerpt from a longer work in development, Plenum in Tuntenhaus combines sharp humour with a distinctly contemporary queer visual language. It offers a fast-paced insider’s view of the Tuntenhaus collective’s fight against gentrification in Berlin.
A Certain Kind
Gabriel Gutierrez Morales, USA, 2024, 16’
A short documentary offering a behind-the-scenes look at a queer porn production company committed to creating a space for healthy, ethical, and empowering sexual expression.
Planetary Loss
Ceza Bularca, Romania, 2024, 3’
This music video porn-poem reminds us that the body — including the sexual, sensual body — is inseparable from the planet. As ecosystems collapse, so too do our capacities for pleasure, intimacy, and desire. How can we reclaim joy and erotic connection in the face of devastation?
