Acting / Short Movie
In Limbo Short Movie for Nowness, 2022
Directed by Harun Güler
As part of NOWNESS online programme for Berlin Pride 2022
For Berlin Pride 2022, NOWNESS has partnered with GAP and Zalando Marketing Services to support three LGBTQIA+ film directors based in Germany. Adam Munnings, Zoey Lee and Harun Güler have each created a short film that uses their individual styles and perspectives to navigate the subjects of culture, identity and gender in distinctly different ways while embodying GAP's core belief that liberation and happiness come when you live your truth.
The theme of outsiderdom anchors Güler’s In Limbo – a series of intimate vignettes that play with subversion. In one scene, a masculine group is gathered on the shore talking about hooking up with girls, before one person jumps in the water to reveal top surgery scars. In another, a belly dancer twists in the desert, kicking up dust and sand before lifting their veil to reveal a moustache.
