Premiere

June 16 Artist Talk with Tucké Royale after the film screening 

h0chbegabt deal with social structures and translate them into humorous fantasy worlds. Their latest work, VAMPIRE(N), is a mockumentary about the casting and production process of the new vampire film “Vampires in the Dark”. The mockumentary portrays two potential protagonists – real vampires – and provides insight into their lives. We accompany the two and the beginning of their special friendship in the face of discrimination and prejudice.

In a screening of the film at nightfall, they invite us into the freedom of the night that belongs only to them, sharing their hope for a future in which vampires could fully be a part of society.

OSKA MELINA BORCHERDING is a German-Greek actor. After studying acting at the HMTM Hannover, he worked for three years at the Theater an der Parkaue in Berlin. In addition to his work as an actor, he develops projects in film and dance. In 2018, he realized the multi-award-winning documentary film Jajá (2019). Starting in the winter semester of 2023, he will study choreography at HZT Berlin. Oska is part of this year's mentoring program "re:balance" of the Rudolf Augstein Foundation.

As h0chbegabt, they deal with social structures and translate them into humorous fantasy worlds in order to process their own experiences of discrimination and make their world of experience more comprehensible for a broad audience. In doing so, they speak from a trans-nonbinary and sex worker perspective. Their collaboration has already resulted in two short films and the concept for VAMPIRE(N).
