Apologies for cross-posting
Dear Colleagues,
The Global Queer Cinema network is happy to announce their second big
event. Please pass on to anyone who might be interested.
Best wishes,
Laura
The Global Queer Cinema network, based at the University of Sussex, near
Brighton, is partnering with Cinecity to present a day of queer film events
on November 24th.
As well as showcasing LGBT cinema from around the world, the event will
host a number of diverse spearkers, including Sridhar Rangayan (director of
the Mumbai International Queer Film Festival, filmmaker and gay rights
activist); Stephen Kent Jusick (filmmaker and programmer of MIX NYC, the
New York Experimental Lesbian and Gay Film/Video Festival); Brian Robinson
(programmer for the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival), and others to
boot.
Following the roundtable is Kashish: Indian Queer Shorts, a programme of
quirky, amusing and thought-provoking short films from the Mumbai
International Queer Film Festival.
The event continues into the evening, with programmes of queer
experimental film and video. From an exuberant celebration of New York’s
sexual energy to culture jamming riffs of the War on Terror, and from trans
documentary to campy lesbian fantasy.
All events November 24th, exact times TBA

· Curating Queer Film Culture, followed by

At The Basement, 24 Kensington Street, Brighton:
