Dogfriend is a sharp German gay short film about a hookup complicated by race, fetishisation and the assumptions people bring into supposedly casual encounters. Maissa Lihedheb keeps the conversation tense but recognisably human, allowing desire and discomfort to coexist. The film’s strength lies in refusing to separate intimacy from the social dynamics already present in the room.
