QUEERTACTICS – Verleihung der Goldenen Medusa
The queer-feminist short film award GOLDENE MEDUSA honours films in three categories:
1. Most challenging representations of gender
2. Queerest aesthetics
3. Best LGBTIQ+ documentary
This year, the award is being presented in collaboration with WIENWOCHE for the first time. Accordingly, the open call centred on the theme ACTIVISM REVISITED, in dialogue with WIENWOCHE 2026/27’s open call, Age of Dissent. Taking dissent, resistance and social change as its starting points, the call invited queer-feminist filmmakers to reflect on past, present and future forms of activism through film.
The result is an extraordinarily diverse and simply breathtaking shortlist. All six nominated films will be screened in the presence of the filmmakers. Only afterwards will our much-appreciated jury, Moira Hille, Tonica Hunter and Mzamo Nondlwana, announce the winners. Suspense guaranteed!
