Secrets of the night: Michael Steiner surprises in the Stüssihof cinema
Secrets of the night: four of them are revealed by the Zurich Film Festival’s series “Late Night Specials”. Clandestine desires develop in the darkness, a bloody act of revenge takes its course, two people experiment with the boundaries of their love and the Swiss director Michael Steiner astonishes the public with a “Late Night Surprise” at the Stüssihof sex cinema.
The boundaries of love – and beyond
Kissing is one thing, kissing for a second time something quite different. A married couple attempt to elude sexual boredom and test the durability of their relationship with the help of an alluring female Spaniard. William Tyler Smith deals with the subject of true love in Kiss Me Kate.
The erotic desires of Italy
Forty years after Passolini’s Comizi D’Amore, Barbara Seghezzi and Marcello Mencarini go in search of Italy’s sexual passions and desires, equipped with nothing more than a mobile camera phone. In bars, on the street and at the beach they chat with over 1000 contemporaries about love and sex and elicit the astounding erotic soul of Italy. 100 statements and confessions finally found their way into Nuovi Comizi D’Armore, the first cinema film shot entirely with a mobile camera phone.
Revenge is funny
When you choke on a shiver and a laugh runs down your spine then you’re sat in Christohper Smith’s Severance. Horror and comedy collude to form a mutual spectacle at an isolated East European forest. An annual works outing should inject some new team spirit; instead the accommodation turns out to be a ramshackle hut and avenging angels emerge from within the forest - their sights set on one team member after another.
