A quarter of a century. Pink Screens is all grown up and what a joy it is to look back. On this special occasion, we also looked around. This is how we met the Beijing Queer Film Festival, also celebrating its 25th edition this year! Our two festivals have come together to create a joint programme of shorts from our previous editions, exploring identity in all its forms and the collective memory of our communities. Let’s celebrate 25 years by revisiting who we were, understanding who we are today, and catching a glimpse of who we might become. 未来的花朵 (Future Flowers) — Hao Zhou 2022 - 10' - China - vo: zh-hans - sub: en Appearing to be a couple, a woman and man live together but have entirely separate lives. Yet, their schedules are linked by a propagandistic program that guides them toward a single goal. Neo Nahda — May Ziadé 2023 - 12' - United Kingdom - vo: en-gb - sub: en Mona finds archived photographs of Arab women cross-dressing in the Middle East in the 1920s. Somewhere between her fantasies and reality, she starts a feverish journey of uncovering her own identity. 翡罗弥诺浮彼亚 I (Philomirrophobia I) — Qin Yuke 2011 - 24' - China - vo: zh-hans - sub: en It's a concept that emerges in Yuke's world, owing to the asymmetry in the morphology of philo- and phobic inclinations: both the prefix and the suffix are allowed to cluster around their selfless companions - mirrors. God, Guns and Queers — Tom De Pékin 2010 - 5' - France - vo: en - sub: en An animated musical fresco celebrating freaks and gender liberation against puritanical norms, set to the electro-punk sounds of “Alors heureuse?”. We Want to Get Married — Shi Tou 2007 - 5' - China - vo: zh-hans - sub: en On February 14, 2007, Valentine's Day, eight individuals who supported same-sex relationships and marriage offered prepared roses and cards to passersby.
