A vibrant and intimate documentary centered around Nina Queer, one of Berlin’s most iconic party transvestites, and her colorful entourage. Set against the pulsating backdrop of the Kreuzberg club Musik & Frieden, the film captures the energy and extravagance of the legendary "Irrenhouse" party, which Nina has hosted for years. The camera follows its protagonists — trans women, DJs, drag performers, and devoted partygoers — from their private preparations at home to their journey to the club, offering rare glimpses behind the scenes of Berlin’s queer nightlife. These personalities share their stories, reflecting on what makes "Irrenhouse" and Nina Queer such enduring symbols of freedom, expression, and community.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
