Aus der Synopsis:
Travel Queeries, 68 minutes, is a feature documentary film that explores the life, culture, art and activism of queer individuals and groups throughout a selected group of European cities. Originating from the success of a short film shot at an international alternative queer conference in 2005 (Queeruption, Barcelona), a larger team of filmmakers joined together along with an international group of collaborating artists to produce this groundbreaking feature length film about radical queer identity and community within contemporary Europe.

Travel Queeries focuses on exploring queer as a political identity in 21st century urban Europe, looking at how language and identities translate over cultural and physical borders. The term queer, sometimes used in the United States as a unifying umbrella term for people who are LGBTQI, is also used by a progressive youth movement and academia and has many varied interpretations when brought into cross cultural context. While once a derogatory term, queer as a self-identity has become a significant political moniker in the international context for those living outside sexuality and gender norms.
