About event
How can film convey the voice of the oppressed? How does the fight for queer rights intersect with the fight against colonialism and genocide? And what does it mean to stand on the side of justice, even if it is inconvenient?
.
These questions are answered by a series of short films that we will screen for the second time on June 20 at 7:00 p.m. at Cinema otherwise known as A4 in Bratislava.
.
This event is part of the international film initiative Queer Cinema for Palestine (QCP), which was created as an act of solidarity with all those who and which opposed the so-called pinkwashing - a strategy by which the state of Israel tries to cover up its participation in the occupation and violations of the human rights of Palestinians by presenting itself as a "leader in LGBTI+ rights". QCP follows a call by the Palestinian Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment (BDS) movement, which asks cultural institutions and individuals not to participate in state-sponsored Israeli events such as TLVFest - Tel Aviv International LGBTQ Film Festival.
.
Several queer filmmakers around the world have refused to work with TLVFest and instead created their own platform to promote Palestinian culture of resistance - Queer Cinema for Palestine.
.
The film initiative takes place throughout the month of June in more than 35 countries around the world and includes a range of 6 short films with diverse perspectives and artistic approaches – from documentary statements to experimental, poetic and highly political works. It is an international collection that reflects the queer Palestinian experience as an experience of physicality, desire, persistence, but also loss, expulsion and constant threat. The films were made in exile, in occupied territories and in diasporas – and all of them are united by the effort to resist erasure.
