Saturday March 29 - Screening of Taiwan Queer Film "Girlfriend, Boyfriend" folloed by Q and A @ Innis Town Hall. Set in Taipei and Kaohsiung, "Girlfriend, Boyfriend" (Ya-che Yang, 2012), unfolds a poignant coming-to-age story about relationship, friendship and political activism. Looming over the queer love triangle is the winding path for democratic reform in Taiwan from the late 1980s to the new millennium. Over the span of two decades, three rebellious Taiwanese youths’ once uncompromised faith in freedom and love gradually fades out, replaced by their tacit wonder towards their sociopolitical reality and moral integrity. The film thereby subtly interrogates the extent to which Taiwan has upheld the spirit of democracy. Upon its release, the film was critically acclaimed in Taiwan, receiving seven nominations at the Golden Horse Film Award and earning Best Actress for its lead star Kwei Lunmei. Director Ya-che Yang is also known for his earlier film Orz Boy (2008).
This event includes a panel discussion on the intersection between queer culture, cinema, and politics in Taiwan and the screening of Girlfriend, Boyfriend. Admission is free. As an effort to help fundraise for The Home Promised documentary production, a raffle draw will be held at the reception after the screening.
The Details: Schedule:7:00-9:00 Panel Discussion at Innis Café Panelists TBC (light snack boxes will be provided) 9:15-11:00 Screening of "Girlfriend, Boyfriend" at Innis Town Hall (doors open at 9:00 pm for people only attending screening)11:00 Reception and Raffle Draw at Innis Café Please register at http://munkschool.utoronto.ca/ai/event/15939/ Sign in or Register to post comments FREE Innis College 2 Sussex Avenue Location Map https://goo.gl/maps/7Nxgg Toronto, ON 7:00PM - 12:00PM http://townhall.innis.utoronto.ca/
