QUEER CINEMA SNUBS AT THE OSCARS
QUEER CINEMA SNUBS AT THE OSCARS
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
(2005) dir. Ang Lee
It's been 20 years since Focus Features released one of the most heart-wrenching and beautiful queer love stories on the big screen - also one of the biggest Oscar snubs in the Academy's history.
Love is a force of nature. Ang Lee’s epic adaptation of Annie Proulx’ short story of the same title is inarguably one of the most beautiful and tragic love stories of queer cinema.

A spicy comedy about Nikki, a sassy trans girl who, in her quest to afford her breast augmentation surgery, takes a job at her estranged mother’s struggling tofu restaurant in LA’s Koreatown. But Nikki is no ordinary girl and when she sells tofu, things get spiced up. Austria Wang is nothing short of fabulous in the role of Nikki as she navigates her dreams and realities in her mom’s restaurant and beyond. An endearing story about mothers and daughters, spicy tofu and staying true to who you are.

DIR. ARUN FULARA
The weekly highlight of a middle-aged man’s life is going to the barber shop on Sundays to get a shave and some tender care from the handsome barber he has a secret crush on. Surrounded by an unforgiving heteronormative world, his desire allows for no more than platonic queer longing and a moment of daring fantasy: imagining himself without a mustache because someone he likes told him that it would look amazing. This beautifully shot short with a soulful performance by Shrikant Yadav as Kamble, captures the sensuous intimacy of a barber shop encounter and closeted queer longing.

An inspiring documentary about Apayauq Reitan, Indigenous Inupiaq transgender woman (Aġnainġiq) and dog musher who became the first out transgender woman to complete the legendary Iditarod sled dog race across Alaska, USA. The filmmaker followed Apayauq for more than 1,000 miles on the Iditarod trail, documenting her journey from Anchorage to Nome, a trying challenge of unforgiving yet breathtaking terrain. In a hostile anti-trans climate, Apayauq Reitan’s resolve and resilience celebrates Indigenous roots and practices while being unapologetically yourself.

A touching tribute to a friend, Meteor is a visually captivating short about loss and grief and the challenges of women and the queer community in Iran - those who have been (and still are) deprived to be themselves. Using rotoscoping, Meteor juxtaposes the stories of the women’s movement in Iran and the filmmaker’s relationship with a gay friend in this poetic exploration of oppression and hope. A must see.
