What happens when 300 lesbians from around the world attend the largest United Nations conference? How did two busloads of lesbians headed to an underground nightclub help spark the birth of a lala (LBT) movement in China? At the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, the first ever lesbian tent at an UN NGO Forum was created. Emerging from hidden shadows of shame and invisibility, Chinese lalas began a hard-fought path of deliverance from themselves, from family, and from an apprehensive environment. In doing so, they sought empowerment and change as they explored concepts and issues from self-affirmation to rights consciousness. The film powerfully moves forward to the present day and shows the drastic change in today’s young feminist lalas – their challenging of sexism and homophobia with daring public street actions on subways – a parallel action to their forerunners in 1995, with much vigor and defiance 20 years later.

Ghost

A week ago, a seemingly unusual but bizarre WeChat invitation brought Caidi, Qingyun, Rocky, Mia, and Bo together, led by a boat captain to the scenic Donglin Island. The five of them seem to have a smooth ride, but they do not know that danger has crept in. The island is empty, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, the dense creeping green vines, the "cave" dripping with mucus and stacked with white bones, the blue pool bubbling with immortal energy but can erode the bones, and the strange death of Bo's son, all phenomena are unbelievable. The sudden appearance of the "mysterious man" and his advice pushes them into a state of near-madness and fear, but they have already fallen into an "island of death" from which there is no way out. Where did the island come from and who is the "Mystery Man"? Whether Kaidi and Qingyun will be able to leave safely or not, as the layers of truth advance, everything is even more creepy. ......

Our Story: 10 Years Guerrilla Warfare of Beijing Queer Film Festival

Considered as the first of its category and still being held event, Beijing Queer Film Festival is the only community-based non-governmental film festival with a special focus on gender and sexuality in China. As LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) issues remain politically sensitive, in addition to China’s strict media censorship, the film festival has encountered enormous difficulties in its development. During the past ten years, the festival venue has shifted from the western suburb of the city to the eastern suburb of the city, and from the city to the countryside. In 2011 it went back to the city and took the strategies of the ‘guerilla warfare’ because of government intervention and censorship. Based on the footages recorded and collected by each year’s organization committee, the film interviewed the committee members and let them tell the stories of the festival and of themselves.
