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.
