Queer Exile - film screening and discussion with the director
Monday, March 2, 2026 12:30–2 pm
JJK Hall Queer Exile is a short film about an exiled activist who flees Egypt in the wake of the revolution and arrives in Berlin yearning for safety, reaching for breath. But before he can catch it, he’s placed in a refugee camp, steps away from far-right rallies chanting for his removal. Trapped between what he fled and where he’s landed, he must confront the cost of escape, the ache of memory, and what freedom really means.
The film screening will be followed by a conversation with the director. Madi Awadalla is a writer, historian, and transdisciplinary artist whose practice spans performance, visual storytelling, and multiple forms of writing. Grounded in counter-histories, archival intervention, and embodied research, their work engages critical debates on public health, sexuality, displacement and the afterlives of colonialism.
This event is part of Prof. Dr. Agata Lisiak's SO204 Urban Ethnography Workshop, organized in collaboration with the Civic Engagement Office and the Equal Opportunity, Participation and Nondiscrimination Office.

Fifteen-year-old Eddi attends a sports boarding school near Neubrandenburg. Her parents taught there until the summer holidays, but now they are about to move to Japan because her mother has been accused of abuse of power – time for the next stage in her career. While her parents prepare for the move, Eddi has only three days left to avert her fate or adopt a new personality. In the process, she is swept through a series of microcosms in a German province that seem strangely familiar and yet completely new through Eddi's eyes.Sponsored by: Literaturforum im Brecht-Haus, Saarländischer Rundfunk.

BCB Lecture Hall (Platanenstraße 98a) An outstanding work of Soviet cinematography, Aleksandr Askoldov's 1967 feature Commissar is notable for its artistic qualities as much as for its troubled history. Shot on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution, and featuring some of the brightest stars of Soviet cinema, the film was immediately suppressed and shelved by the KGB for two decades while its director was expelled from the Party, exiled from Moscow, and banned from working on feature films for life. First released under Gorbachov, Commissar won the Silver Bear - Special Jury Prize at the 38th Berlin International Film Festival in 1988.
Set in Ukraine during the Civil War that followed the October Revolution, Commissar tells the story of Klavdia Vavilova, a female commander of the Red Army, who finds herself pregnant. Forced to request a leave from military service, Vavilova takes shelter in the home of a poor, three-generation Jewish family. Thinking across multiple divides (sexual, political, ethnic, religious), the film is a poetic rumination on human life and the paradoxes of revolutionary politics.

Nick Mauss is an artist whose work connects drawing, gesture, and implications of space with writing, performance, and display. His exhibition Transmissions at the Whitney Museum of American Art catalyzed a new poetics of the archive and historiography through highly innovative work with dancers, curators, art historians, conservators, artworks, collectors, librarians, artists, costume makers, and exhibition designers–where the entire infrastructure of making exhibitions was treated through the lens of performance. Mauss has also collaborated with artists including Ken Okiishi, Lorraine O’Grady, Juliana Huxtable, Kim Gordon, and Yvonne Rainer, among others. A volume of his selected essays on art, cinema, dance, and fashion, titled Dispersed Events, was published by After 8 Books, Paris, in 2024. Touching on the simultaneous modes of his practice, Mauss will narrate an artistic method of re-orientation through which counter-histories are proposed.
