Salzburg Queer Update

On 14.03, the queer film evening at DAS Kino will feature “Nelly and Nadine“, the story of two women who met in Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1944, survived the camp and spent the rest of their lives together.

On 17.03. Gernot and Herwig invite you again to “LMC Salzburg goes Fetish“, on 19.03. there is the next opportunity to spend a sexy Sunday afternoon in the Dark Eagle. On 22.03. we continue with a reading by author Helmi Schausberger, who will read from two of her queer crime novels set in Ireland. And on 1 April the Easter Festival starts with two unusual events: danced Wagner songs by choreographer Emanual Gat and the encounter of Richard Wagner’s music with the electronic beats of Westbam. More queer events can be found in the calendar “Upcoming Events” and Art&Festivals. Stay tuned – see you in Salzburg.

10.02.2023 Four weeks from tomorrow, the first HOSI festival of the year will take place at the ARGEkultur. But until then there is still a lot of water flowing down the Salzach river. And the carnival season is approaching its climax. Salzburg is not known as a stronghold of carnival, but there is a certain affinity with traditional customs in the Salzburg area. In any case, the HOSI Salzburg celebrates “HOSI Gschnas” in its new rooms in Franz-Josef-Straße on 21 February (Shrove Tuesday). According to Wikipedia, “Gschnas” is an Austrian term originating from Viennese for a merry costume party. So on this evening (from 6 pm) the best costumes will also be rewarded with a small prize.

From 1 to 5 March, journalists from gay media from Madrid, London and Zurich will be in Salzburg, including from Shangay and Attitude. They will see for themselves the great things Salzburg has to offer queer visitors. For example, on Friday, 3.03, when the Magic Garage performs at the Narrencastl. On 14 March, DAS Kino will be showing “Nelly and Nadine“, a lesbian love story from the Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1944, in cooperation with the HOSI Salzburg. And for those who lose track of all the different topics, we recommend approaching the topic of vegetarian and vegan nutrition despite all the confusion. At the eat&meet culinary festival, which will be celebrated from 1 to 31 March within the walls of the old town, the motto is “Vegourmets”, an approach to vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Maybe there’s something going on?

31.01.2023 It’s been a while since the last update. But now there is news to report. The HOSI party in March was supposed to take place on the 1st Saturday as usual. Due to coordination difficulties, the first HOSI-Fest 2023 will now take place on 11 March. So: Knot in the ear! On 25 February the exhibition Queer* Fem* magaZINES starts in the Rupertinum. The Museum der Moderne Salzburg highlights queer and feminist publishing in art and culture. Exciting! The exhibition runs until 4 June.

On 8 February, “Close“, a puberty drama that has already won an award in Cannes and has an Oscar nomination in 2023, will be shown in the “Queer Film Evening” series at DAS Kino. On 14 March, “Nelly and Nadine” will be shown in this series, a lesbian love story against all odds in the 3rd Reich.

By the way, there’s a new Magic Garage show on 3 March. As usual, unconventional and very entertaining at the Narrencastl in Salzburg-Lehen. And in March there’s also eat&meet, the culinary festival in Salzburg’s old town.

07.12.2022 From a queer perspective, there are still four interesting dates in Salzburg before Christmas. A week from Friday (16.12.) Gernot and Herwig invite you to the last fetish evening of the year. On the following Saturday (17.12.) there will be the Christmas edition of the Magic Garage at the Narrencastl. On Sunday (18.12.) you can end the weekend in a relaxing way at the Underwear Party at Dark Eagle. And on Tuesday (20.12.) DAS Kino and the HOSI Salzburg will show “Anima – my father’s clothes”. An award-winning film on the topic of gender identity. Yes, and then four more sleeps and then it’s Christmas.

02.12.2022 The last HOSI festival of the year starts tomorrow evening. For the first time after the CSD in September with a second dance floor in the basement: ARGE Studio Clubbing, hosted by LMC Salzburg. The memory of the setup with DJ Ambjörn Söderberg for the Pride 2022 is still vivid.
