Freak show – film

Expected premiere – Spring 2026

Is it possible to express sadness against the dominant ideologies of bodypositive and inspiration porn? How to build pride in what is socially accepted as an image of failure? And – how to skilfully ‘mutilate’ popular cultural clichés that set the social optics against all otherness?

Freak Show is a cinematic story about a group of diverse young artists who challenge expectations and aesthetics – reality mixes with art, fiction and provocation, leading to a surprising finale.
