Accepting sexuality as a universal language that connects us all can lead to a more natural way of living – director Ben Galster made Container Love’s latest film project, the music video for the Irrepressibles’ song, “Ecstasy Homosexuality”, into a beautiful, political statement. We asked him about the historical context of his latest film, directing intimate scenes, and why standing up for each other in the fight for queer rights and liberties is now more important than ever.

This is the first installment of “Queers on Ecstasy,” part of our Beyond Lust Special, where we explore and showcase incredible talents within the queer community. Through this series, we share their individual interpretations of ecstasy, inviting you to experience the many facets of queer joy, creativity, and expression.

Dance can bring all kinds of emotions to the surface while liberating the mind and body – Max Gaertner is part of Container Love’s latest project, the music video for the song by The Irrepressibles, "Ecstasy Homosexuality". As part of our latest Beyond Lust special, we asked Max to tell us about his behind the scenes experience, a personal queer icon he’ll never forget, and the freedom and tranquility he’s found in dancing.

It takes time and courage to unlearn old ways of life, but rebuilding new is always worth it – Berlin-based actor and model Karma di Sapio plays an important role in our latest film, the music video for The Irrepressibles’ song, Ecstasy Homosexuality. In conversation with Container Love, Karma told us about his upbringing in Italy, his journey of self-exploration, lust, and why playing a voyeur carries a special relevance to him.

By just putting yourself out there, you will be rewarded with people around you that shine bright and who will help you thrive even more – Berlin-based dancer and model Elias Brenneisen belongs to a new generation of fearless queer creators. Member of the cast of our music video for The Irrepressibles’ Ecstasy Homosexuality, we asked Elias to share his story on finding his identity and confidence in Berlin, the importance of role models, and the magical effects on one’s life of keeping it casually sexy.

Queerness can give you the strength to take risks building your own path – Berlin-based tattoo artist Ricardo Rozas was key to Container Love’s latest project, the music video for The Irrepressibles’ song, "Ecstasy Homosexuality". Now part of our Beyond Lust special, we asked Ricardo to tell us about the balancing act of experiencing ecstasy, some of his dearest childhood memories of the Chilean shoreline, and why Berlin remains the place to be for people on the quest for finding themselves.

Radical acceptance can break down barriers – Berlin-based dancer, director and filmmaker Dario Campo played an important role in our latest music video for The Irrepressibles’ Ecstasy Homosexuality. As part of our Beyond Lust summer special, we asked Dario about how leaving perfectionism behind helped him to become a better storyteller, the duality of living in Berlin, and the liberating experience of getting a queer haircut.
