Overview

Fellow Berlin queer community members together mourn the loss of their dead friends due to substance abuse and mental health crisis by sharing a few personal materials, stories and honest criticism about the club/nightlife scene. Resembling glowing-in-the-dark fungi such as Panellus stipticus, they transform dead bodies and memories into a collective structure that sustains future living - radiating the light together as a network of support and care.

Screened as part of BFI London Film Festival 2024 Experimenta Shorts programme.
