Founded in 2012, Queer University Documentary Workshop is an annual seven-day documentary production workshop. Targeted at sexual minorities who are underprivileged and less media-literate, it provides practical training in documentary shooting and editing for video lovers with demonstrated potential. It facilitates participants to make films about their own communities and teaches them to engage in advocacy and social movement through moving images. Through the workshops, participants have produced a variety of queer-themed short films about LGBTQ identity, queer aesthetics and politics, criticism of mainstream media representation, and so on. Queer University also offers excellent students a one-year documentary funding scheme, helping them realize their dreams of making a documentary.

 

Many of the short films of the program are available online through the Queer Comrades Video Webcast, the only LGBT webcast in China.

酷兒大學紀錄片訓練營（簡稱酷兒大學）創辦於2012年，是每年舉辦的為期7天的訓練營。此工作坊特別針對弱勢及媒體素養較低的性小眾，爲同志社區（延展到性別領域）具有潛力的影像愛好者提供關於紀錄片拍攝、剪輯、實戰的培訓，讓TA們拿起攝像機拍攝自己社區的故事，同時學習用影像的方式來參與社會倡導和運動。學員透過工作坊製作了多樣化、與酷兒議題相關的短片。短片議題包括同志身分、酷兒美學與政治、針對主流媒體呈現同志的批判等。酷兒大學更爲優秀的學員提供為期一年的紀錄片資助計劃，實現TA們的紀錄片夢想。

 

大部分紀錄片在同志亦凡人網站上能看到。
