Mix Copenhagen 2020 Program LLesbianGayBiTransQueer+anGa nsQ r++ FiFilm FestiFestivalestival 35th ANNIVERSARY THEME Mixomino I anledning af vores 35-års jubilæum er vores visuelle tema hexominoes. De er geometriske figurer, der består af 6 firkanter, som kan arrangeres på 35 måder. Nok kan man stable alle 35 sammen til en firkant, men der er altid en lille stump tilovers, der sært stikker ud. Gennem hele det printede program bliver hexominoes mixet med scanninger af 35mm film for at skabe en levende scene. In celebration of MIX’s 35th anniversary, this year’s theme is based on hexominoes—shapes made from six equal-sized squares connected edge to edge. Only 35 combinations exist and no arrangement can be packed into a rectangle, there’s always a queer protrusion. Throughout the printed program hexominoes are mixed with scans of 35mm film to set a vibrant scene.

Vi er en frivillig forening drevet af passionerede LGBTQ+-filmelskere, der bruger vores fritid på at gøre MIX CPH til en spektakulær begivenhed—ikke blot for LGBTQ+-miljøet, men også for hele København og langt ud over byens grænser. Vi er derfor dybt afhængige af og taknemmelige for den støtte, vi får fra miljøet og vores samarbejdspartnere og for alle, der hjælper os med at nå vores mål. Vi bestræber os på at vise film, der udforsker og udfordrer grænserne for mainstreamens skildringer af køn og seksualitet. •EN MIX CPH was founded in 1986 and is now the oldest annual film festival in Denmark, as well as one of the world’s oldest LGBTQ+ film festivals. We are a volunteer organization run by passionate LGBTQ+ film lovers who use their spare time to make MIX CPH a spectacular event— not just for the LGBTQ+ community, but for all of Copenhagen and beyond. We are therefore dependent on, and deeply grateful for, the support we get from the community, our business partners, and everyone who helps us reach our goal: to show films that question and challenge the boundaries inherent in mainstream portrayals of gender and sexuality and reflect the diverse world we live in. 2 Velkommen / Welcome VELKOMMEN til MIX COPENHAGENs 35-års WELCOME to MIX COPENHAGEN’s 35th jubilæumsfestival.

For at fejre vores position som den ældste og største LGBTQ+ film festival i Norden, har vi i år opbygget en solid grundpille af lokalt talent i vores tema Nordic Cinema med titlerne Prelle—In My Own Voice (DK) (s.21), Silence and Swords (DK) (s.22), Always Amber (SE) (s.21) og i vores tilbagevendende publikumsfavorit Nordic Lights (s.18). Vores dedikerede fokus på debuterende queer-talent reflekteres i vores program, hvor vores åbnings- og lukke-film, No Hard Feelings og I Carry You With Me begge er debutfilm. Faktisk er hele otte af vores i alt 45 spillefilm debutfilm dette år. Vi tror på queer modstandsbevægelser og vigtigheden af at skabe alliancer mellem queer- og minoritetsfestivaler, så til vores 35. Jubilæum har vi bedt seks queer filmfestivaler fra hele verden om at dele en kortfilm med os, som relaterer til temaet Riot. Vi støtter andre festivaler, der inspirerer os; de, som med et væld af odds imod sig arbejder hårdt for at skabe queer rum, og som på trods af modstand holder ud. Se deres udvalg og læs mere om de forskellige festivaler i kortfilmsprogrammet Riot (s.52). Sidste år fremhævede vi en mangel på lesbisk repræsentation i nyere film og lavede et retrospektivt program med vores yndlings lesbiske film fra 90’erne. Vi arbejder videre på problemet med manglende repræsentation i 2020 med fokus på Black Queer Cinema med både klassiske og nutidige titler. Se Tongues Untied (s.55), Pariah (s.56), Destiny (s.55) og Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story (s.57). Sidst, men ikke mindst, vil vi nødigt have at i går glip af alt det saftige. Som altid har vi et suverænt udvalg af porno som fejrer vores kalejdoskopiske seksualitet. Se Ask Any Buddy (s.27), Bloodsisters (s.48), Dry Wind (s.33), og This Is How We Do It (s.34). Men lad ikke kun os guide dig til hvad du skal lede efter, udforsk selv og find dine egne skatte i dette års program. Der er mange. Vi ses i mørket 8 Note from the programmers •EN For 35 years, we and the volunteers before us, have been working hard to bring the best of queer cinema to Copenhagen. To celebrate our position as the oldest and largest LGBTQ+ film festival in the Nordics, this year we are centering a strong core of local talent, in our theme Nordic Cinema, with titles such as Prelle—In My Own Voice (DK) (p.21), Silence and Swords (DK) Lili-pris nomineret (p.22), Always Amber (SE) (p.21), and in our recurring audience- læs mere om prisen på s. 77 favorite shorts program Nordic Lights (p.18). Our dedication to focusing on debuting queer talent, is Lili Award nominee reflected in our program. Our opening film as well as our read about the award on p. 77 closing film, No Hard Feelings and I Carry You With Me respectively, are both first features. In fact, eight of our in total 45 full length films this year are first features. We believe in queer resistance and the importance of alliance among queer and minority festivals, so for our 35th anniversary we invited six queer film festivals from around the world to share a short film which embodies the theme Riot.

    THE GLOBAL STATE OF LGBTIQ ORGANIZING THE RIGHT TO REGISTER Written by Felicity Daly DrPH Every day around the world, LGBTIQ people’s human rights and dignity are abused in ways that shock the conscience.

OutRight Action International, founded in 1990 as the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, works alongside LGBTIQ people in the Global South, with offices in six countries, to help identify community-focused solutions to promote policy for lasting change. We vigilantly monitor and document human rights abuses to spur action when they occur. We train partners to expose abuses and advocate for themselves.

  • 1 A. the Partners
    A. THE PARTNERS A.1. The Danish organization LGBT Denmark, the Danish National Organisation for Gay Men, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgender Persons1, was founded in 1948. The NGO works with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities and expressions (SOGIE) both locally, nationally, regionally and internationally, while also providing social networks for LGBT people in Denmark. LGBT Denmark’s vision is to see a world and a society with equal opportunities for all regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation and a world where this is implemented in human rights, which are endorsed and respected by all. Human rights are not static and continuously evolve in the form of international conventions as well as national laws. To accommodate this, LGBT Denmark calls on the Danish government and other actors to intervene on behalf of the LGBT community at home, as well as foreign governments or other international actors, such as the United Nations, to intervene on behalf of LGBT communities abroad and ensure political, economic, social, and cultural equality. Furthermore, LGBT Denmark engages in advocacy to support people who are marginalized and discriminated against on the basis of socially constructed markers. The perception of binary gender categories as well as cis-heteronormativity have been embraced by society although these forces deeply stigmatize people who do not conform. LGBT Denmark thus challenges these perceptions and lobbies for the acceptance of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE) as being as diverse as people who live it. This also includes the demand for equal opportunities in regards to all aspects of life, as well as basic security.

Homosexuality in Tunisia is punishable by three years in prison, and the LGBTQI++ community is under threat of both legal action and homophobic violence. Yet, since the 2011 Revolution, queer activists have founded several associations to advocate for their community, and the associations have formed a strong connection to the arts. In this study, I spoke with art organizers from three Tunisian LGBTQI++ associations to document their plentiful art activity.

Tunisian civil society centralizes its core missions around advocating for the rights of LGBT individuals through attempts to target the measures that allow for such unlawful imprisonment: Articles 230 and 226 of the Tunisian Constitution. But within the undiscussed gaps between laws, cultures of homo and transphobia, and civil society lies alternative measures for non-linear forms of queer advocacy.
