admin, , , ,

In partnership with BFI Flare: London Film Festival, we speak to directors Amrou Al-Kadhi and Onir about the progress of queer film in the Global South and why LGBTQIA+ representation outside the Western film canon matters.  WORDS BY ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH HEADER DESIGN BY YOSEF PHELAN We all remember the first queer film that resonated with us.

admin, , , ,

Often against the odds, LGBTQI activists around the world are defending our community and campaigning for equality, but they are woefully underfunded. Much less than 0.01 percent of international development aid focuses on LGBTQI human rights.  In fact, funding for LGBTQI rights in the Global South and East has decreased, all while the religious right pumps resources into protecting “traditional values”.
