Is it Future or is it Past

”They don't have much to SHOW, do they?” a comedy horror anthology movie. The film consists of three separate tales that are introduced by an anchorman. The first story, titled ”How to spot a homosexual?!”, is a propaganda movie that combines elements of propaganda movies from 20s and 50s eras. The second story, ”Opressed straight white guy”, is mostly inspired from articles found on alt-right and other shady reactionary sites that promote hate speech. The third story, titled ”They are among us”, is a vox with real people from Chișinău who were required to answers to several silly questions about LGBTQ+ community.

What does a DIY publishing art collective, an activist samba percussion band and a queer community space have in common besides sharing a leaking roof above their heads? The film portrays the residents of Casa Zemstvei - an alternative culture space with a vibrant community in Chisinau throughout the eventful year of 2023, and their struggle to establish a sustainable cultural center, which was shaken by a hole that emerged suddenly in the ceiling and that apparently cannot be fixed.
