Chinese Culture of San Francisco – Shanghai Queer Screening + Q&A with Filmmakers
June 18, 2021 @ 6:00 pm PDT - 7:30 pm PDT
In celebration of Pride Month, CCC presents “Shanghai Queer” screening and Q&A with director Xiangqi Chen 陳想起, Screenwriter Jiamin Hu 胡嘉敏, and producer Ann, Yu 安魚.
”Shanghai Queer“ is a first-of-its-kind documentary film about LGBTQ’s pursuit of equality and freedom in Shanghai, China. The documentary tells the collective memories of the development of Shanghai’s LGBTQ community over the past 15 years (2003-2018), presenting and focusing on the mission, growth, and thoughts of NGOs, activists, scholars, and artists in the gender equality movement under the change of urban spaces.
“Shanghai Queer: Screening + Q&A with Filmmakers” is a programming of “WOMEN我們: From Her to Here,” an exhibition at the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco exploring local and universal experiences of queer belonging and agency.

Rooted in San Francisco’s Chinatown, CCC is a loud and creative voice to uplift social and economical transformation.
