Forty years after the release of Rosa von Praunheim’s ground-breaking 1971 film “It is not the homosexual who is perverse, rather the situation in which he lives”, a group of men assemble to review, rewrite and restage its legendary final scene. The Rosa Song combines dialogue from the original with challenging new ideas about gay male life in Germany and internationally, concluding with a musical manifesto that breathes new life into this 1970s classic. 10 minutes.
