Watching two asian gay guys take down the model minority myth and a transphobic society with their small genderfluid child wasn't on my bingo but damn I'm glad that it exists

nimona’s portrayal of queerness is just absolutely brilliant. it’s able to discuss the negative impacts of bigotry and ignorance on marginalised communities and anyone who is seen as breaking social norms, in this way it works as a trans allegory specifically, but it also provides the catharsis and comfort of a world where queer people are simply allowed to exist through ballister and ambrosius’ relationship. it’s a perfect balance of queer joy and queer pain that comes together to create a movie that is just a love letter to the lgbtq+ community. you are seen. you are not alone.

DESERT HEARTS (1985)

Director: Donna Deitch Cinematography: Robert Elswit

[queerasfact]

We have to be really clear on the fact that the rigidity that we face in present times, from relationship to gender, is a modern construct that comes very much from the colonial forces primarily through religion. That rigidity reflects more so that colonial imprint than it does any historical accuracy, because historically many indigenous cultures left room for much more than the binary.

-Saul Williams, director of Rwandan sci-fi musical Neptune Frost

We had such a wonderful and illuminating time this week watching and talking about the Afro-futurist movie Neptune Frost, which explores the journey of genderqueer Neptune and coltan miner Matalusa, and their blossoming relationships amongst a Rwandan hacker commune.

If you're keen to watch more sci-fi, or more African cinema, I'd definitely recommend it. We were able to get it free on Kanopy through our local library!

Check out our podcast on the film if you'd like to hear some more in-depth background on its creation.

Last Spring (short film, 1954) | dir. François Reichenbach

[madeleineengland]

This dialogue collects all the beautiful meaning of the movie but let's focus for a moment on Yori's "sorry I lied".

That child dared to disobey his own father and incur his punishment, again, just for Minato! These kids want so much to be together, freely and simply. They just want to be themselves with someone who truly understands them and to express their care. They want to never have to ask permission again. Why the social stigma shouldn't have let them experience their first love, their true identity?

And finally in the end they both let go of the shame. They no longer ask permission and accept themselves as they are.
