Program > Queer Rainbow: From Nowhere to Everywhere
|
The audience will encounter diverse subject matters from many more nations through this year’s ‘Queer Rainbow’. The works from France and North America, western societies where announcing “I’m Gay!” seems to have lost its political effectiveness, explicate on the diverse conflicts encountered by homosexuality based on status, religion and community. On the other hand, the queer films from South Africa, Japan and India shed light on the current state of homosexuality in societies in which discussion on homosexuality is almost non-existent. |
