The filmmakers Karin Michalski and Sabina Baumann talked with 15 protagonists about their observations in everyday life and their sometimes laborious reworkings:
What does it mean to interfere with public images of sexuality and whiteness, to invent a new language for more than two genders and to reverse devaluations referring to sexual identity at workplaces?
One year later, the participants meet in a former supermarket in Berlin, where they
constructthematized settings and create a meeting place. The interviews are projected at the venue and provoke discussions, performances and further cultural productions.
The protagonists: Artists, theorists, activists and musicians.
The venue: The market place of a supermarket.

PASSING THE RAINBOW
Sandra Schäfer, Elfe Brandenburger
2007, 71min
What does it mean to appropriate characteristics considered masculine in order to find a job on the labour market and thus to get around the prohibition on female employment introduced under the Taliban regime? And why do women practice the profession of actress, which is generally deemed ‘dishonourable’ in Afghan society? Many of them have no professional training, and the frequent use of improvisation affords the performers wide creative scope. In addition to their roles, actresses must also justify their work both to their families and in other social contexts.
The film Passing the Rainbow dramatises scenes from the everyday lives of the performers and reflects on gender relations. This method opens up fictional action spaces whose expression surpasses the possibilities of the real world.
