Here, Queer and Totally Sincere
60 minutes
A celebration and exploration of queerness in animation. In collaboration with Queer Film Festival Utrecht.
Kaboom and Queer Film Festival Utrecht join forces once again to present a rich celebration and exploration of queerness in animation. These are films that wave their rainbow flag proudly! Come and enter the wonderful world of queer animation and witness how queer identity can be represented in the genre. Together, we create a safe space where we can freely enjoy queer films on the big screen, and talk to one another about representation, identity, and equality.

Ce Fruit
In a kingdom, at the moment of birth each person is attributed a fruit which allows them to marry. While the exchange of two identical fruits is prohibited by law, Princess Anera lives a secret romance with the beautiful Krimen.
Coming Home
A chat with various people who identify as queer and feel connected to the LGBTQ+ community. Together, these personal interviews touch upon a bigger question: what exactly is queer happiness?
Dearly Departed
A queer comedy horror about accidental death, interfering ghost hunters and how joy can be found despite the hand the (after)life might deal you.
Melk
Melk is about the expectations of and realities of being gay.
Outside the Lines
Three young queer people share their experiences on what it's like to deviate from the straight-, cis- norm and how this makes them feel. Not meeting certain expectations is often complicated, but it also offers many advantages.
Starry Will
One is born through chaos, the other avoids it. A film about trying to create a safe space for all.
The Prince’s Dilemma
Prince Philip, who longs to be with a prince of his own, must decide between following the traditional tale expected of him or to forge his own happily ever after.
The Sketch
Arriving in Paris, I start learning two languages, French and drawing. In an artist's studio, I met Linda Demorrir, a live model. Like me, she is transgender and an immigrant. As I draw her outlines, it is also myself that I learn to draw.
What It Takes
The vibrant plea of a generation of trans and non-binary people for the recognition of their rights.
Wooden Mirror
Ambo is the prince of a kingdom in which the gender lines are clearly defined: all the men are warriors and defend the borders of the kingdom and all the women are nurses and heal the wounded men.
