A comprehensive historical account of the queer movement in modern China, the film documents the changes and developments in LGBT culture that have taken place over the last 80 years. The film examines how shifting attitudes in law, media and education have transformed queer culture from being an unspeakable taboo to an accepted social identity. It features exclusive interviews with over three dozen leading queer activists, scholars and filmmakers.
The Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen series is sponsored by the Ithaca College Center for LGBT Education, Outreach, and Services. For more information, visit www.ithaca.edu/lgbt.
