BALDIGA, UNLOCKED HEART

Directed by Markus Stein
Germany
90 minutes / German w English subtitles

In 1979, 19-year old Jürgen Baldiga moves to Berlin and decides to become an artist. Faced with certain death from HIV infection, he discovers photography as his medium. Between despair, longing, rebellion and an irrepressible will to survive, Baldiga becomes a chronicler of the queer West Berlin subculture of the 80s and early 90s and proves his unique talent as a sensitive and provocative photographic artist.
