The Global Queer Cinema network, based at the University of Sussex, near Brighton, is partnering with Cinecity to present a day of queer film events on November 24^th.

As well as showcasing LGBT cinema from around the world, the event will host a number of diverse spearkers, including Sridhar Rangayan (director of the Mumbai International Queer Film Festival, filmmaker and gay rights activist); Stephen Kent Jusick (filmmaker and programmer of MIX NYC, the New York Experimental Lesbian and Gay Film/Video Festival); Brian Robinson (programmer for the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival), and others to boot.

Following the roundtable is Kashish: Indian Queer Shorts, a programme of quirky, amusing and thought-provoking short films from the Mumbai International Queer Film Festival.

The event continues into the evening, with programmes of queer experimental film and video. From an exuberant celebration of New York’s sexual energy to culture jamming riffs of the War on Terror, and from trans documentary to campy lesbian fantasy.
