Skirball Series $10 [members $8] To get tickets, visit: To Be Young, Queer and Chinese To Be Young, Queer and Chinese Program curated by Jenny Man Wu, with Popo Fan and Yang Yang Presented in collaboration with Love Queer Cinema Week (former Beijing Queer Film Festival, BJQFF) Love Queer Cinema Week was funded in 2001 by university students as the first LGBTQ film festival in mainland China – where it remains one of the few grassroots events involved in independent queer film screenings and cultural exchange, providing a platform for sexual and other minorities worldwide. It has hosted international guests and offered travel grants to young Chinese participants. It has created ties with queer film festivals/events in Brazil, Belgium, Italy and Denmark, and the Berlinale Teddy Awards. Often harassed by the authorities and forced to change locations, it has survived as a site of resistance for social, cultural and artistic fluidity. Three festival organizers will hold a panel discussion on the evolution of queer media in China. Also: screening of Popo Fan’s The Drum Tower (Gu Lou Xi, 2019) and Yang Yang’s Our Story - 10-year "Guerrilla Warfare" of Beijing Queer Film Festival (Wo men de gu shi, 2011) In person via Zoom from Beijing and Berlin: Director on Duty Jenny Man Wu (rotating position), Committee Members Yang Yang and Popo Fan “… what made the BJQFF screening among the most moving and memorable experiences we’ve had on the festival circuit was the realization that it was more than an entertainment, it was a statement.

Chinese-language films have experienced the whole - divide - cooperation - integration process in the past 68 years has experienced. In recent years, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese new generation of directors have realized the century cultural integration of Chinese-language film across different nation and region.

Over the past century, the number of Chinese films has been over a million, including Chinese, Cantonese, Hakka, Hujian (Taiwanese), tidal language, dialect and a small number of English. The profound social background, cultural roots and industrial connections all promote the coming out and acceptance of the concept of Chinese-language film. The shared cultural traditions such as the language, literature and food are rooted in the same culture—the long lasting traditional Chinese culture and the consistent film traditions—Shanghai film traditions before 1949.
