November is a big month for global queer cinema in Brighton, not only has\u00a0Cinecity\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0arrived, but the city sees new events from Sussex University’s Centre for Sexual Dissidence<\/a>, the launch of a new strand of queer screenings from the Duke of York Cinema, Eyes Wide Open<\/a>, launching with Antony and the Jonson’s film Turning<\/a>, experimental film at Brighton Museum and a town meeting on the Queer-State-of-the-Art.<\/p>\n

GQC and Queory are hosting a special Cinecity warm-up event on 22 November at 4pm – 6pm with Indian queer filmmaker, curator, and activist Sridhar Rangayan<\/a> at the University of Sussex. He will be discussing his work and showing a selection of films.<\/p>\n

The end of November sees the Global Queer Cinema strand of\u00a0Cinecity<\/a>. We’re really excited to be bringing a panel of international queer film folk to Brighton. Opening with a roundtable of practising queer filmmakers and festival programmers, the Curating Queer Film Symposium\u00a0<\/a>sees Brian Robinson of the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival<\/a>, filmmaker Campbell X<\/a>, Stephen Kent Jusick<\/a> of MIX NYC and Sridhar Rangayan of Mumbai’s Kashish Queer \u00a0Film Festival all discussing how cinema sustains and creates public queer cultures. This will be followed by a screening of Kashish: Indian Queer Shorts<\/a>, a programme of the best new LGBT filmmaking from India. In the evening, Stephen Kent Jusick bring a little NYC\u00a0MIX<\/a>\u00a0magic to Brighton’s Basement with two programmes of edgy, hilarious and political experimental film and video.<\/p>\n

But it’s not just us creating queer film events. Perhaps we’ve inspired something of a queer month? On 9 November, the Centre for Sexual Dissidence and the Centre for Visual Fields present a one day symposium\u00a0Low Affect\/ High Stakes<\/a> between 11am – 6pm at Sussex University. Guest speakers include Professors Heather Love, and Peter Coviello on queer teen suicide.<\/p>\n

LGBT\u00a0Artists Speak Out<\/a>\u00a0is being held at Brighton Museum on 14 November between 1-6pm. Artists\u00a0Ajamu X,\u00a0Sadie Lee, Brian Lobel, Eddie Peake, Sarah Pucill, James Richards and GQC collaborator\u00a0Campbell X<\/a>\u00a0will discuss their take on queer sexuality, intimacy, love and race in twenty-first century Britain.<\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
