Enter the War

A short film exploring the nature of pain and pleasure and the feelings of guilt and loneliness.

The protagonist is an artist who reevaluates his identity. He is into self-harm as a way to punish his “masculinity”. After another session (documented instances of self-harming action), he dresses in drag and goes to the party. At first, he escapes into the fantasy of safety and freedom, but eventually and abruptly is brought back to reality as the phantasm of masochism takes shape.

Selected works of Ukrainian queer artist AntiGonna, the pioneer of post-pornographic art in Ukraine.
