MINIKINO SHORT FILMS SCREENING & DISCUSSION July 2005
Free entry - please be on time
----- Program film bulan ini mengangkat tema besar tentang gay dan lesbian. Tetapi ketika ditilik lebih jauh, pendekatan semua film-film ini adalah eksperimental. Ada yang bereksperimen dengan warna, ada yang bereksperimen dengan teknik animasi dan kamera dan ada juga yang bereksperimen dengan cerita. Tak satupun dari film ini yang mempertanyakan lagi kebingungan orientasi seksual tetapi lebih kepada eksistensi mereka sebagai seorang homoseksual di lingkungan mereka.
Saya sengaja mengambil film-film dari berbagai negara untuk memperlihatkan bagaimana setiap negara tersebut menyikapi isu homoseksual itu sendiri.
Programmer: John Badalu John Badalu adalah programmer tamu minikino, dan juga Festival Director dari Q! Film Festival.
