QUEER FILM Anniversary FESTIVAL #BQFF2019 THE BANGALORE 10th QUEER FILM Anniversary FESTIVAL #BQFF2019 I'm crying cuz I love you We’ve turned ten! And we didn’t make it so far on our own. One of the several perks of being a volunteer-run, community- funded event has been that friends from the community and of the community have come in, rolled up their sleeves, hitched up their hemlines and taken charge over the many years. From the first public film festival called ‘Bangalored’, held with our signature spread of mattresses at the Attakkalari Studios and helmed by the good folks of Pedestrian Pictures, Swabhava’s Vinay Chandran (who remains the longest- running festival director), Sangama, and the funding prowess of Bangalore’s former party starter Abhishek Agarwal, to the smaller festivals organised at a screening room in the Sona Towers, to its present avatar as the Bangalore Queer Film Festival – this festival has become its own beauty, its own beast. Over this decade-long journey, we’ve been held and nurtured by support groups like Good As You, We’re Here And Queer and All Sorts of Queers; individuals like Karthik Vaidyanathan, Nanju Reddy and Siddharth Narrain (who were part of the organising team in the early editions) and organisations like the Alliance Française de Bangalore and Goethe Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan. A question that everyone involved with the festival asks at its end: How did we make this happen again? And while we’ve come up with lots of lies to drive out these doubts, in truth: we have no real idea. Nearly five months before the date of the festival, someone (it has never ever been the same person) sends out a message: When are we doing our first meeting for next year’s BQFF? And from then on, it is just a matter of moving our lives and work schedules around to make it happen – because it will happen either way. This festival is a drama queen that needs her audience. And we’re all just her makeup and wigs department. But even before this questions bleeps onto our phone screens from other members of the organising team, it is you – our audience – who always ask: BQFF is happening right? (Sometimes just a week after one has gone by.) And I think it is the need to always answer in the affirmative that keeps this festival going. The festival has always been bigger than the people who run it (and it will always be), it has been about you and you alone – our audience. So, we’d like to say – we love you! Thanks for coming each and every year, for being patient with our shortcomings, for encouraging our flights of fancy and for allowing us to show you films. We’ve been super thrilled to have you with us. And want to see more of you in the years to come. Now, flip through the brochure and enjoy the programme we’ve put together for you at the tenth edition of the Bangalore Queer Film Festival over the next four days! Happy viewing, lovelies, cuties and hensems! And hey, eat a slice of cake for us!

It situates the work, an investigation into the post-cinematic uncanny and the affective potential of visual effects technologies in art practice, within a theoretical context and aims to illuminate aspects of our relationship to certain types of digitally augmented contemporary moving imagery. The practice explores the post-cinematic uncanny as an intersection of visual arts, moving image, animation, cinema, television and visual effects, linking it to theories of psychoanalysis, affect and post-cinema. It questions the nature and qualities of moving image in the 21st century, especially the pervasive and ubiquitous nature of computer-generated imagery (CGI) that supplements and augments digitally captured footage.

  • 2018 Holds a Spectacular Lineup of Films from All Around the World in Store for You, and Two Special Performances
    “IT MUST BE LOVE ON THE BRAIN” “IT MUST BE LOVE ON THE BRAIN” t the 9th edition of BQFF, hosted along with our beloved partners the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan (GI / MMB), we present a staggering A89 films from over 30 countries. Like every previous year, this year’s festival will be breathless, wild, fun, strange and intense. It will put you on social overdrive, because let’s face it: some of you come just to meet your friends. Watch out for our three specially curated packages. One set of films brought to us by GI / MMB, including our Saturday night Centrepiece, Ein Weg (Paths), comes from the prestigious Berlinale festival in Germany. Another package of LGBT shorts from the UK is brought to us by a British Council international touring programme in association with BFI Flare. For the second time in our history, BQFF is collaborating with the film curator and archivist Thomas Waugh, founder-director of the Queer Media Database Canada-Québec. He will introduce and screen a package called “I Confess”, autobiographical shorts from the Canadian Queer Film Archive. This year we have something über special to announce: in 2017 The Bangalore Queer Festival Trust was set up as an independent entity that will work solely for the festival in the years to come, starting with the 10th Anniversay splash in 2019! We hope you will all stay with as collaborators, supporters, film lovers, performers and just generally a marvellously ragtag bunch of travellers in the future! To give you a quick recap of last year’s festival, BQFF 2017 (24-26 February 2017) was held at Alliance Française de Bangalore and the Goethe-Institut /Max Mueller Bhavan.

  • Finite Rants” from 25 June 2020
    FONDAZIONE PRADA PRESENTS THE ONLINE PROJECT “FINITE RANTS” FROM 25 JUNE 2020 Milan, 17 July 2020 – Fondazione Prada presents the online project “Finite Rants”, curated by Luigi Alberto Cippini and Niccolò Gravina, on its website and social platforms from 25 June 2020. Commissioned by Fondazione Prada to filmmakers, artists, intellectuals and scholars, the 8 visual essays comprised in “Finite Rants” will be published on a monthly basis. The first authors include German director and writer Alexander Kluge, Japanese photographer Satoshi Fujiwara, French director Bertrand Bonello, and Swiss economist Christian Marazzi. As stated by avant-garde director Hans Richter in 1940, the film or video essay is a form of expression capable of creating “images for mental notions” and of portraying concepts. Starting from Richter's ideas, some later theorists identify specific traits in the video essay, such as creative freedom, complexity, reflexivity, the crossing of film genres and the transgression of linguistic conventions. “Finite Rants” aims to test the versatility of the visual essay in expressing thought images and demonstrate its relevance in contemporary visual production. According to the two curators, “this project further develops Richter's intuitions starting from the assumption that, due to the natural evolutionary condition of the cinematographic fact and its contamination with forms of information, visual material and capillary distribution of Image Capture supports, today more than ever it is necessary to search for what can be defined as ‘Formatless Dogma’, in support of a visual production without restrictions". The aesthetic and theoretical roots of “Finite Rants” can be traced back to the experimental work La Jetée (1962) by French author Chris Marker.
