TRUTH OR DARE ’25

Inspired by the feeling of loneliness and longing during the first Covid lockdown, the experimental documentary „“Truth or Dare““ begins. From interviews, that were conducted over a distance unfolds a fragmentary narration by people from different parts of the world who all came to Berlin to find a home and belonging here in the queer sex-positive scene. It’s about the discovery of queer bodies, the need for consent and the struggle for awareness of self-determined sex work.

Berlin-based filmmaker Maja Classen, a graduate of the prestigious Konrad Wolf film school, first gained recognition with her portrait of Berlin’s early 2000s club scene, a film still celebrated as a vital snapshot of that era. In her latest documentaries, A BODY LIKE MINE and TRUTH OR DARE, she returns to Berlin’s nightlife, this time delving into queer, sex-positive spaces to challenge societal taboos.
