In collaboration with SOAS, University of London, ‘Queer’ Asia is renewing its film series for 2024, building upon the intellectual, emotional, and political energy of the 2022 ‘Queer’ Asia Film Festival: Survival. Over the weekend of the 27th and 28th of July, we will present an generative and collaborative programme in venues across London.
REVIVAL 2024 asks us to imagine the possibilities of queer liberation, kinship, acts of resistance, solidarity, and desire. How do queer individuals and communities negotiate and contest the nexus of oppressive structures, Eurocentric notions of queer freedom, and discourses of exclusion? What are the queer stories and futures that can be articulated through subversive and embodied practices across the normative borders of space and time? These stories invite us to think beyond the limits of our own social and political conditioning and engage in a shared space that will proffer transgressive potential and reflexive discussion. The screenings shall be followed by a series of discussions which aim to create conversation and a space for expanding upon the liberatory potential brought forth by the films. All screenings are free to attend. To book follow the link to our Outsavvy page and follow “Queer” Asia on social media to keep up with any updates.
