  • Curating Precarity. Swedish Queer Film Festivals As Micro-Activism
    Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis Uppsala Studies in Media and Communication 16 Curating Precarity Swedish Queer Film Festivals as Micro-Activism SIDDHARTH CHADHA Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Lecture Hall 2, Ekonomikum, Kyrkogårdsgatan 10, Uppsala, Thursday, 15 April 2021 at 13:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Dr. Marijke de Valck (Department of Media and Culture, Utrecht University). Abstract Chadha, S. 2021. Curating Precarity. Swedish Queer Film Festivals as Micro-Activism. Uppsala Studies in Media and Communication 16. 189 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-1145-6. This research is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted at Malmö Queer Film Festival and Cinema Queer Film Festival in Stockholm, between 2017-2019. It explores the relevance of queer film festivals in the lives of LGBTQIA+ persons living in Sweden, and reveals that these festivals are not simply cultural events where films about gender and sexuality are screened, but places through which the political lives of LGBTQIA+ persons become intelligible. The queer film festivals perform highly contextualized and diverse sets of practices to shape the LGBTQIA+ discourse in their particular settings. This thesis focuses on salient features of this engagement: how the queer film festivals define and articulate “queer”, their engagement with space to curate “queerness”, the role of failure and contingency in shaping the queer film festivals as sites of democratic contestations, the performance of inclusivity in the queer film festival organization, and the significance of these events in the lives of the people who work or volunteer at these festivals.

  • REBELS on POINTE Featuring LES BALLETS TROCKADERO DE MONTE CARLO
    REBELS ON POINTE Featuring LES BALLETS TROCKADERO DE MONTE CARLO A film by Bobbi Jo Hart An Icarus Films Release Produced by Adobe Productions International "Laugh out loud funny! Knocks the stuffy art off its pedestal and makes it an open, inclusive, and accessible experience. This spirited doc shows how much better art—and life—can be when everyone is invited to the party." —POV Magazine (718) 488-8900 www.IcarusFilms.com LOGLINE A riotous, irreverent all-male comic ballet troupe, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo challenges gender and artistic norms in the conservative world of ballet. SYNOPSIS Exploring universal themes of identity, dreams and family, Rebels on Pointe celebrates the legendary dance troupe Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. The notorious all- male drag ballet company, commonly known as “The Trocks,” was founded in 1974 in New York City on the heels of the Stonewall riots and has since developed a passionate cult following around the world. The film juxtaposes intimate behind-the-scenes access, rich archives and history, engaging character driven stories, and dance performances shot in North America, Europe and Japan. Rebels on Pointe is a creative blend of gender-bending artistic expression, diversity, passion and purpose which proves that a ballerina can be an act of revolution… in a tutu. Rebels on Pointe introduces dancers that director Bobbi Jo Hart filmed for four years: Bobby Carter from Charleston, South Carolina; Raffaele Morra from Fossano, Italy; Chase Johnsey from Lakeland, Florida; and Carlos Hopuy is from Havana, Cuba. With personal histories impacted by the AIDS crisis and eventual growth of the LGBT civil rights movement, the film’s main characters share powerful and inspiring anecdotes about growing up gay, their relationships with their families, and their challenges in becoming professional ballerinas.

  • THE REST I MAKE up a Film by Michelle Memran
    Documentary Feature US, 2018, 79 minutes, Color, English www.wmm.com THE REST I MAKE UP A film by Michelle Memran The visionary Cuban-American dramatist and educator Maria Irene Fornes spent her career constructing astonishing worlds onstage and teaching countless students how to connect with their imaginations. When she gradually stops writing due to dementia, an unexpected friendship with filmmaker Michelle Memran reignites her spontaneous creative spirit and triggers a decade-long collaboration that picks up where the pen left off. The duo travels from New York to Havana, Miami to Seattle, exploring the playwright's remembered past and their shared present. Theater luminaries such as Edward Albee, Ellen Stewart, Lanford Wilson, and others weigh in on Fornes’s important contributions. What began as an accidental collaboration becomes a story of love, creativity, and connection that persists even in the face of forgetting. WINNER!

    Epstein, Rob (b. 1955) Rob Epstein. Image by Craig Kaczorowski courtesy tellingpictures. com. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2011 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Writer, director, and producer Rob Epstein is one of the most accomplished filmmakers working today. He has been involved in the creation of such groundbreaking and critically-acclaimed glbtq documentaries as Word Is Out, The Times of Harvey Milk, Common Threads, The Celluloid Closet, and Paragraph 175, as well as the full-length feature film Howl. Epstein was born on April 6, 1955, in New Jersey. His filmmaking career began when, as a 19-year-old college dropout, he responded to an ad in a San Francisco weekly alternative newspaper for "a non-sexist person to work on a documentary film on gay life." That documentary would ultimately become the landmark film Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives, released in 1977. The project was initiated five years earlier by the visionary documentarian Peter Adair (1943-1996) who began to film interviews with his friends about their experiences as gay men and women. Realizing these interviews could be expanded into a full-length documentary, Adair brought his sister Nancy into the project, along with four other filmmakers, including Epstein. All six members of the team ultimately shared directing credit as the Mariposa Film Group. In total, over 200 interviews were conducted; eventually, the filmmakers narrowed the focus of the documentary to twenty-six people, ranging in ages from 18 to 77, and encompassing a wide range of life experiences.
