「《沒有彩虹的國度》是部恐怖片，但同時也見證了群眾面對高壓時無懼的一面。你無法否定『這種人』的存在，因為他們確實存在，且如同片中所指涉，他們不只是英雄，更是生存與毀滅之間的最後一道防線。」— 滾石雜誌

車臣是位於東歐的前蘇聯國家之一，在早期的極權統治和人稱「小卡迪羅夫」的拉姆贊・卡迪羅夫領導之下，發展成民風極為保守的所在。2017年以來，公權力根據小卡迪羅夫頒布的政策「合法」扣留、虐待、甚至處死當地LGBTQ族群人士，藉以「淨化血統」。本片導演大衛・法蘭斯深入採訪記錄，將惡行公諸於世，也利用「深偽技術」保護鏡頭下的這些非凡抗爭者們的真實面貌，同時讓更多人看見他們在這個壓抑與封閉的國度內，面對日漸高張的反同殺戮下的無懼身影及勇氣。

導演簡介

"Welcome to Chechnya is a horror movie, but it's also a collective profile in courage. You can't say that "such people" are not here. They are, and they're not just heroes, the movie suggests. They're the last thing standing between survival and a purge." - The Rolling Stone Magazine.

Since 2017, Chechnya's tyrannical leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has waged a depraved operation to "cleanse the blood", to detain, torture and execute LGBTIQ people. Director David France uses a remarkable approach to anonymity to expose this atrocity and tell the story of this extraordinary group of activists who risk unimaginable peril to confront the ongoing anti-LGBTQ pogrom raging in the repressive and closed Russian republic.

About the Director
Director David France's first debut documentary, How to Survive A Plague, was nominated at the 85th Academy Awards. His second documentary, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson, a Netflix Original Documentary, won numerous festival prizes and awards. Director David is also New York Times Bestselling Author and Award-Winning Investigative Journalist.

「棕櫚影像製作室（Palm Drive Video）所創造出的藝術作品能打開那些演員的包袱，帶領觀眾一同探索那最深處、最兒少不宜的幻想性樂園。並且釋放觀眾的慾望，讓他們以安全、私密的方式，與他人『共享』這份奧妙。」— A&U Magazine

1980年代，愛滋恐慌開始在美國蔓延，傑克・佛里徹和馬克・韓利決定將一個農場改造成小型同志A片工作室，並命名為「棕櫚影像製作室（Palm Drive Video）」。藉由安全性行為與對抗愛滋為主打，影片提倡多元性癖好，大膽展現出情色幻想的各種可能性，讓觀看者在家中也能積極探索且體驗性的高潮點。

導演簡介
雷恩・A・懷特為資深紀錄片導演與加州大學傳播學系講師；艾力克斯・克勞森則是居於加州的藝術創作者，作品曾多次於藝廊展出。《基情！無碼！一刀未剪！》則是艾力克斯的第一部紀錄長片。

"Palm Drive Video made art that freed their models to explore and engage the viewer in their darkest, most NSFW sexual fantasies—and freed the viewer to "share" that fantasy in private, in safety" - A&U Magazine.

Palm Drive Video, a homegrown gay porn studio by Jack Fritscher and Mark Hemry back in the 1980s, helped battle a devastating health crisis by promoting kinky sex. They made the rural ranch into a safe-sex porn studio that offered viewers new sexual possibilities in an age of plague to explore their unique erotic fantasies onscreen and helped champion sex positivity in the porn industry.

About the Director
Ryan A. White is a documentary filmmaker who has made plenty of short and full-length documentaries and a lecturer in the Department of Communication at California State University. Alex Clausen is an artist who lives in Guerneville, California and has exhibited works at various galleries. Raw! Uncut! Video! is his first debut feature documentary.

2020 阿姆斯特丹同志與移民影展 – 觀眾票選獎
2020 日內瓦國際人權影展 – 評審團特別提及

「在《肌膚的選擇》裡，羅賓・哈施毫不避諱地直搗核心，去碰觸那些在時下這個已然習於價值二分的社會中，受到冷落的、甚少被真的拿來談論的議題。」 – Cineuropa

本部紀錄片歷時兩年拍攝。導演羅賓・哈施令鏡頭追隨三位跨性別青年Logan、Soän和Mixai，追隨那些埋藏在他們心裡對自身性別認同的困惑、那些於他們自身，乃至於周遭所愛之人招致的劇變。他並表示「這三位主角讓我了解到，我不該嘗試著要弄懂跨性別是什麼，而是應該去直接接觸它。」

導演簡介
羅賓・哈施(Robin Harsch)，生於瑞士，身兼演員與導演的身份。執導過《Sophie Calle, près texte》、《Federer et moi》等短片作品與電視紀錄片的製作。本片《肌膚的選擇》，為其第二部紀錄長片作品。

"In Under the Skin, Robin Harsch adopts a head-on and deeply intimate approach to tackling the all too rarely evoked topic of transidentity, of falling outside of binary categories" - Cineuropa.

Filmed over two years, Director Robin follows the transition of three trans teenagers Logan, Söan, and Mixair. The upheaval it causes in them, their loved ones and the quest for identity is buried deep within them. "The main characters quickly made me realized that I shouldn't try to understand trans identity, but to meet it," said director Robin.

About the Director
Actor and Director Robin Harsch, born in Switzerland, has made several works, including short films Sophie Calle, près texte and Federer et moi, and documentaries for a television production. Under the Skin is his second documentary feature film.
