August Joensalo’s Space is Quite a Lot of Things (2021) will be screened at Concorto Film Festival, on Saturday August 20 2022, at 12:15 AM. Concorto Film Festival will be held at Parco Raggio and Greenhouse, in Pontenure Italy.

In Space Is Quite a Lot of Things, curiosity about a world without gender sets a journey through a world of jellyfish and disco uncles, creating space for four trans people to share how they relate (or not) to their own gender, imagine visions of their own queer utopia, and reveal whether gender can be felt in your toes.

August Joensalo (b. 1993) is a film director, writer and photographer based in Finland. They use film and images as mediums for creating relatable utopias for queer and trans people. Their practice is focused on queer time & space, and trans narratives existing outside of the binaries of language, bodies and identities. They graduated from their MFA in Film at HDK-Valand in 2021.

Concorto Film Festival, August 20-27 2022, Pontenure, Italy.
