Film Series at Franconia

The lover’s choice / The poet’s choice curated by Juleana Enright
The films in this series examine how queer love changes us. They evoke the ambiguity and fluidity of life, art and identity, celebrating that these concepts are not fixed but rather in constant flux.

The first two films in the series explore queer love through "folie á deux," the French term for “madness of two,” a shared psychosis or shared delusional beliefs transmitted between two people. In this instance two lovers. I.e. the lover’s choice. Absurd and at times impulsive, this representation of love is uninhibited and reckless but never without passion

The last two films explore the poet’s choice through the lens of Orpheus and Eurydice. Addressing identity and self in an abstract and cerebral way, these films ask us what parts of ourselves do we lose in love; what parts expand? When love ends do we look back? Or do we look forward, holding remembrance sacred but not stagnant? Slow moving and heady, they ask us to examine love in an experimental and limitless way.
