Queer Film Poems

October 8, 2023 8:30 pm

Your beloved Perverts Cine Club returns with another screening of rare experimental gems. This time we will focus on queer ‘film poems’ from the 50s through the 90s. Audiovisual play, synesthesia textures, spoken word diaries, superimpositions, scribbled intertitles and dialectical editing are some of the poetic storytelling methodologies presented in these idiosyncratic, multifaceted films. Doors open at 20:30 and screening starts at 21:00. Films and presentation will be in English.
