Panel & Retrospective Screening
Internationally acclaimed, award-winning filmmaker Pratibha Parmar has deeply influenced mixed-genre filmmaking since the 80’s and continues to bring fresh representations of queer women of color to the screen. Our Retrospective Screening highlights three influential films: Khush, an exploration of queer South Asians in diaspora; Bhangra Jig, a celebration of culture and desire; and Wavelengths, a quest for love and intimacy in cyberspace. Our Panel Discussion “Representations of Queer API Women in the Media” will address the challenges and achievements of queer Asian Pacific Islander women filmmakers.
