7.0Directors Willem and Tofik take a closer look at their own experiences and engage in conversation with other gays about their position in the gay scene. Where one consciously distances himself from strict expectations, the other seems to be losing out. Acting Straight exposes an uncomfortable truth. Pride may be their motto, but the fear of not being masculine enough has gripped many gays.

NRIn personal reflections on her own experiences with sexual violence and in frank conversations with victims and (potential) perpetrators, Sunny Bergman shows how we as a society deal with sexual violence. Research shows that nearly a quarter of women have experienced sexual violence, but this is the tip of the iceberg. Why does rape almost always go unpunished? At the vice and in court we see how people get stuck in a system of 'His word against hers' and 'One witness is not a witness'. The new consent law is a step forward, but what makes the system fail time and time again?

Many women are confronted with a young, slim and tight beauty ideal and worry a great deal if they can't live up to that image. Sunny Bergman asks in whose interest it is for her and other women to have these concerns, what's at stake, what's to gain and what's to lose. In this film, Bergman looks for the cause, the effects, and possible solutions for the Western preoccupation with our image.
