Q-Space presents a collection of queer short films Lilla Pleasure.
The collection Lilla Pleasure features LGBTQ short films created by Estonian filmmakers over the past few years. These are vivid and memorable works across various genres — from professionally made feature films starring well-known actors and activists to experimental student films and video art.
All of them explore themes of identity, the history and present of LGBTQ people, drag, the celebration of queerness, and the manifestation of diversity in culture and society.
Q&A with filmmakers after the screening in English (translation into Estonian / Russian can be provided via request)
1.Mother
Nadya Tjuška, Estonia, 2024, 4 min.
The film refocuses on social constructs of women's experiences, and expectations set by capitalist society from a young age to condition us to care about our body hair more than the housing crisis, or to get married and give up our independence and career to fit into the social status quo.
2. Grandma, meet Mary!
Kaire Russ, 2021, 19 min.
A comedy drama about a grandmother's jubilee celebration, where middle-aged perfectionist Virve comes into conflict with her niece Silvia, who brings her same-sex partner to the traditional family party.
3. ASMR To Heal A Broken Heart (tapping, latex, reading Grindr messages)
Temake, Estonia, 2024, 14 min.
A playful yet poignant reflection on self-care and queer intimacy in the digital age, this piece blends ASMR and social media aesthetics with Grindr messages.
4. All the Love in the WORLD
Rodion Furs, Estonia, 2022, 9 min.
All the Love in the WORLD is a project consisting of a video installation and an essay created as an attempt to document the search for identity using collage tactics.
5. The Night of the Purple Horrors
Kadri Nikopensius, Estonia, 2024, 15 min.
Ann discovers an old newspaper article that takes her to the captivating queer nightlife of 1930s Estonia.
Amidst a lively dance party, Ann befriends prominent figures of the era, who invite her to a queer wedding, disrupted by felonious homophobes.
