Queer Asia

The films present tender moments of love and acceptance as well as conflict. We are often shown the pain, protest, and fear of being queer in Asia in the media. This is important - the global queer community should be aware of such intersectional struggles. But there are moments of humanity too. Even though this screening depicts vulnerability, it also explores queer joy.

Featuring three short films about queer Asian people, including Faraz Arif Ansari’s Sheer Qorma.

Curated by Nat Lall.
