Unfortunately, Austria's biggest and oldest queer film festival identities didn't take place anymore in 2019. This meant that there was a gap in the events of pride month June, especially this year when the EuroPride was happening in Vienna. As a small good-bye from the identities festival, as an amplification of queer voices and also to point towards the possibilities of film in the sciences, we invited everybody to a film night in the Arcaded Courtyard on June 16th, 2019.

We showed Rafiki (Kenya 2018). The film tells the story of two daughters of rivaling politicians who become close despite homomisic surroundings. The film won several prizes and was the first Kenyan film to be shown in Cannes. It triggered a lot of discussions in Kenya, where homosexuality is illegal, as well as world-wide.
The film scholar Doris Posch gave a short introduction into the film.
