A film about longing, healing, and belonging. Adopting rituals and play from queer BDSM practice and their own Christian heritage, filmmaker Maja Borg seeks to reclaim intimacy and re-establish boundaries in the wake of a destructive relationship. Through stories of queer BDSM communities, Borg portrays the humanity at the heart of the practice, illuminating its similarities with Christianity.
Maja Borg
Maja Borg, born 1982, is an artist and filmmaker based in Sweden. Working at the intersection between documentary, fiction and experimental film, their work often involves laborious analogue processes in explorations of societal norms and structures from a personal, queer, perspective.
Their work is as likely to be exhibited in cinemas as in art galleries. Borg’s work explores political alternatives and personal ‘otherness’ and is often focused on the deconstruction of culture, economy, sexuality, mythology and language itself.
Filmography: The Most Beautiful Boy In The World (2021), Josefin & Florin (2019), Silvana (2017)
