Heidilicious
This year’s queer Swiss shorts «Heidilicious» once again demonstrate how diverse the exploration of queerness can be. In addition to questioning rigid binary gender categories, we embark on exciting journeys – through the twists and turns of the own body, right into the exploration of lesbian desire, and in a letter to Paul Preciado from Lausanne to New York.
