Queer cinema with the Lux of Caen

with the Cinema Lux

On Friday June 23, of 20:00 at midnight, the Lux cinema devotes one evening of film projection and debates around the theory Queer, fertile movement of déconstruction of the sexual identities. Resulting from the gay minorities and lesbians and authors such as Deleuze or Foucault, Queer reverses the hétérocentrées prospects and asserts an assertion of the minorities, while proposing a fluidity of the desires and identities. This movement comes to inform many contemporary debates, as well on the questions of the sexual policies as about artistic questions. Through ten court-measurings, rare and beautiful, projected for the first time at Caen, like through the very beautiful feature film Venuz Servant boys of Gabriel Baur, film-voyage to the countries of the kinds from New York to San Francisco while passing by Berlin, this evening wishes you the welcome which you are queer, gay, lesbian, Bi, trans, hétéro, post-hétéro, cyborg, gender-variable, feminist or experimental amateur of vidéos or contemporary art.

QF Mix - Perversion - Subversion - 2002/2005 of Queer Factory (2005 - 12 ') “Queer Factory exhibe, mix of images and sounds, cexhib of the works carried out by the collective since its creation so far”

Pink Panthers in Cracow of Sophie Sensier and Barbara Schuch (2005, 30 ') A few times after the death of the Pope and the rise to power of a climate of violence homophobe in Poland, one finds the collective activist of the Pink Panthers of Paris (invited to the Walk of the Prides of Cracow), all in rout, constancy and concern. Soft and burlesque chronicle of a voyage, the film of Sophie Sensier and Barbara Schuch crunches the doubt in the middle of very practical militant. Awkward presence, hesitant transfers between Paris and Cracow, dilemmas around the tactic and of the strategy, how to think the militance enters here and over there, the Panthers return to Paris perked up, the urgency of their combat réalimentée.

Acciones de Mujeres Creando (2001, 12 ', extracted) The Bolivian feminist radical group, Mujeres Creando, constitute an example dreamed of device of transverse actions. Acting in a wandering and decentralized way (by graffitant the walls of the Bolivian capital of tonics interpellations poetic and political with regard to the capacity in place, but also of the patriarchal system, machist). They are made the echo of the situation of the Latin-American women, taken in the snares of a system machist but also accomodate within the group, all the multiplicities (atheistic, believing, prostitutes, lesbians, hétérosexuelles, women indigenous, country, etc).

Come Boyz de Gabriel Baur (102 ', 2002,35mm)

A film-voyage through the universe of the female masculinity/the women. A legendary evening Drag King in New York is the starting point towards an odyssey in the transgenrés worlds where the women become men, some for one night, others for all the life. What justifies them? Which changes take place? Of what do dream they? Drag kings of New York meet in clubs and change voluptueusement in their alter ego masculines, parodying them and exploring the erotism and the strategies of male capacity. In London one will see women experienced the hormones to become new men or cyborgs. Masculinity and the transformation as a performance, subversion or existential need. An intimate film on people who create intermediate sexual identities.
