Comedy & subversion in LGBTQ+ film & artist moving image
Join us for a screening of short films to mark LGBTQ+ History Month, followed by a Q&A with the showreel curators and invited speakers.
This event explores the history of comedy as a queer identity defence, a means of expression and storytelling and the subversive and surprising ways that humour can be used on screen. It responds to the growing interest in LGBTQ+ folk using film and moving image to tell their stories by focusing purely on humour.Whilst the concept of humour helping LGBTQ+ people is an interesting (and vital) world to explore, this event seeks to also engage wider groups of artists, academics and students interested in film and/or the study of humour. We also invite health/inclusion/wellbeing practitioners who are interested in how comedic storytelling may encourage people’s understanding of LGBTQ+ communities.
