Queer Caf | 10.01.2011 16:22
7pm @ Kebele - 14 Robertson Road, Bristol, BS5 6JY
As part of the Bristol Queer Cafe Reading Group Series in collaboration with Race Revolt ‘zine

In her feature film Unveiled (Fremde Haut /2005) Angelina Maccarone tells the story of an asylum seeker in Germany without any of the usual clichés. It describes the fate of a young lesbian from Iran who has managed to flee to Germany after her love affair with a married woman is discovered. In Germany she takes on the identity of an Iranian man, who was also trying to escape, and falls in love while working in the Swabian backwoods of southern Germany.
It is not just a personal drama, but also a glimpse of the reality for asylum-seekers in Germany – reception centres, never-ending interviews and transition camps.
