Beijing Queer Film Festival 
​北京酷儿影展​

Beijing Queer Film Festival was launched in December 2001 by a group of students from the Peking University Student Cinema Association.  Then the festival was held in 2005, 2007 and 2009.  Before adopting the name “Beijing Queer Film Festival” in 2009, the festival was named “China Homosexual Film Festival,” “Beijing Gay & Lesbian Film Festival,” and “Beijing Queer Film Forum.” Currently, it is the only film festival in Mainland China to offer a public forum to films and discussions exploring sexuality and gender identities.

 

The festival operates under difficult social and political conditions and has received support from individuals and various social organizations. The festival showcases the latest Chinese-language films (including Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland films) and creates ties with queer film festivals from Brazil, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, etc. In 2009, the Beijing Queer Film Festival sent a representative to the Teddy Awards Section of the Panorama Program at the Berlin Film Festival for formal reporting. Since then, the festival has been included in the international network of queer film festivals.  At the present, Beijing Queer Film Festival has established its queer film archive, which is supposed to be the only queer film archive in China.

 

 

北京酷兒影展於2001年12月由北京大學影視協會的一群大學生創辦,之後在2005、2007和2009年分別舉辦了另外3屆。多年來幾次更名,從最初的中國同性戀電影節、北京同性戀電影節、北京酷兒電影論壇,最終定名為北京酷兒影展。它是目前中國大陸唯一一個通過電影放映、交流活動來展開性與性別身份探討的民間主題影展。

 

影展一直都在艱難的政治和社會環境中進行。它一直獲得不同人士及機構的支持。影展放映來自台灣、香港及大陸等地最新的華語電影,並和巴西、比利時、義大利、丹麥等不同地方的酷兒電影節建立連結。影展在2009年派代表到柏林電影節「全景」(Panorama)單元的「泰迪大家族」(Teddy Award section) 正式報到,自此成為酷兒影展國際網絡的一員。它同時也創立了中國目前唯一一個酷兒電影資料庫。
