/001 DOCUMENTARY IN FESTIVAL
ARI (2026)
In Berlin, Ari is a dungeon master at one of the world's most iconic BDSM clubs, where power is negotiated through strict rules and codified dynamics. The documentary moves between Ari's inner world and the BDSM scene, blending and contrasting different visual and narrative languages.
Funny and touching, provocative and unconventional, ARI plays with structure and storytelling, while Ari himself steps in and out of the documentary, questioning the boundaries between reality, performance and representation.
