Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, the Queer History Reading Group at Warwick and 'Queer' Asia bring for the very first time to the Midlands a collection of short films focusing on the love, celebrations, and struggles of queer identifying people from Asia and its diasporas. From experimental film to the docufiction, join us for a powerful evening of films that transgress borders, expose oppression, and challenge the ways in which we rethink family, love, longing, and desires.

Films:

• A Letter To The Person I Have Met On Tinder (Dir. James Fajardo)
• Embodiment (Dir. Edwige Pezzulli, Giulia Prizzitano)
• Chudala (Dir. Maaria Sayed)
• Balance (Dir. David Thé)
• A Wonderful Affair (Dir. Tahir Ün)
• From AM to PM (A Look into Ishaq's Life) (Dir. Alizeb Raees)

Curated by: Dr J. Daniel Luther (Warwick)

As film increasingly dominates the visions of life and being in the world, this panel follows from the seminal work of Dr. Karl Schoonover in Queer Cinema in the World to discuss the ways in which film is bringing into conception queer worlds across Asia and its diasporas. Imagining new ways of being, thinking, and articulating desires and longing, love and struggle, and the violence that is imposed on ways of being queer in the world.
