Overview

Through crucifixions, fisting and forest rituals, a group of queer and trans friends create a folk-horror love letter to radical intimacies. Produced over 6 years, Sterile offers a utopian/dystopian vision blending original footage with once banned silent movie Häxan (1922), practical special effects, explicit performance and commentary to present a joyous, affirmative documentary about lost times in nature in a trans- and queerphobic world.

A ritualistic, radical celebration of queer and trans community and desire that refuses to apologize for its explicit intimacy or its refusal of shame. It moves between joy and haunting beauty, grounded in a fierce politics of belonging.
