November 8 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM @ Parnassus Cultuurcentrum Utrecht
This program is a collaboration between several queer festivals that we are part of. The other festivals are Transforming Cinema, QFFU and Queer.red. The shorts are specially curated by the festival staff and are the closing act of the On Connection event, organized by the Department of Media and Culture Studies of Utrecht University. The films span different genres and explore how media and filmmaking shape our ability to connect with ourselves, imagine queerness and connect with others in a meaningful, inclusive space.
The films are in English and recorded by the curators of the respective festival. Instead of a traditional Q&A, we want to bring the idea of connection to life through informal, friendly and engaging conversations among the audience after the screening.
