Tracing the Bounded: A Net of Connection by Arija Emilija Didžpetrytė & Kseniia Buryka

Saturday 09:30 - 11:00

We invite the Sapfo community to build a large net together from repurposed textiles and rope. This net is both an installation and a space to rest, reflect, and connect. Through two workshops, participants weave the net while sharing personal thoughts, memories, or visions, tying them into the structure. The process becomes a collective ritual — slow, tactile, and grounded in care. The net holds stories of transition — reflecting queer experiences of shifting identities, roles, and relationships. For us, liminal space is a space of potential. The work ends in a participatory performance using contemporary dance, circus, and object manipulation to embody fragility, support, and chosen kinship.

Queer cinema for Palestine

Saturday 00:30 - 02:00

This is a 90-minute short film program curated by the Queer Cinema for Palestine collective under the slogan “No Pride in Genocide”. During this Pride month, the program was presented by over 250 partnering organizations worldwide, including Luna6 in Vilnius. The screenings aim to resist and counter ongoing attempts to instrumentalize our queer and trans identities to justify the genocide of the Palestinian peoples, all the while queer and trans Palestinians are systematically targeted, blackmailed and killed.

This year’s selection highlights the work of queer Palestinian and allied artists from diverse locales across historic Palestine and the diaspora, showcasing a wide range of styles and genres - highlighting culture as a form of resistance in the struggle for Palestinian Liberation.

Queer shorts

Join us for a celebration of queer utopia through five award-winning shorts that reimagine connection, identity, and liberation across generations and cultures. In Arms Unfolding, a daughter and father confront emotional distance in the quiet of nature, while Call Me Ro follows a brave journey of gender self-discovery in Mexico. From 1970s L.A. to contemporary Greece and the Netherlands, Dandelion, Driving Me Crazy, and Goldfinch each illuminate how chosen family, truth-telling, and radical love carve space for queer futures. These films invite us to imagine a world where authenticity is not just accepted—but cherished.
