The “Kreis”: Zurich’s Gay History

The journal “Der Kreis” (“The Circle”) was first published in 1943, initially in German and French, after 1955 also partly in English. Its background was the reading circle “Der Kreis”, one of the most important gay organisations worldwide after the war. Pink Apple pays homage to the “Kreis” with music, poetry and photographs from the time, as well as memories of contemporaries of the circle. In addition, Stefan Haupt (director) and Ivan Madeo (producer) will talk about their current film project “Der Kreis”, its challenges, its current state and future schedule until completion and marketing.
