MIX NYC queer classics<\/strong><\/p>\n

MIX NYC has been at the forefront of LGBT film experimentation and this programme brings together a heady array of queer classics. From Marguerite Paris\u2019s exploration of transgender experience to Karim A\u00efnouz\u2019s melancholy view of gay life and death in Brazil, we encounter an international history of queer lives. Peggy Ahwesh\u2019s feminist encounter with an old stag film and Lewis Klahr\u2019s animated reimagining of Superman\u2019s Jimmy Olsen demonstrate the queer imaginary at work, appropriating and transforming pop culture in surprising and sometimes moving ways. From agitprop to fantasy, these films show just what can happen when queer sexuality meets cinematic experiment.<\/p>\n

Christopher Higgs and Johannes Goransson had a conversation on Peggy Ahwesh’s The Color of Love<\/em>, on the queer possibilities of her reclamation of an old stag film. They enter into conversation with our own Rosalind Galt, on her essay\u00a0\u201cPerverse Aesthetics: Maria Beatty, Masochism, and the Cinematic.\u201d You can read more in advance of Saturday’s screening here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MIX NYC new film and video<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drawn from the more recent years of MIX, this programme of short queer works ranges from exuberant celebration of New York\u2019s sexual energy to culture jamming riffs of the War on Terror. There\u2019s a shift in recent queer experimental work from film to video, or to a dizzy mixture of formats and styles. We see an engagement with black and Asian queer identities that spans thoughtful critiques of historical inequalities and contemporary elaborations of beauty, kink, love and style. These films investigate pop culture and politics with a youthful flair, exploring new identities while insisting on retaining an outsider status.<\/p>\n
