Fired Up Queers is putting on a benefit dinner and film screening for the printing of the next issue of Race Revolt.
Come to a tasty dinner (several courses plus dessert) at 7pm at Pogo.
Dinner £4 – 10 sliding scale (no one turned away for lack of funds)
If anyone fancies doing donating some baked goods for us to sell on the evening that would be grand!
And at 8pm we’ll screen Homotopia (27 mins United States)
Set sometime in the future-present Homotopia chronicles a group of radical queer’s dedicated to exposing the trouble with gay marriage, dismantling the State, undoing Empire, while looking totally fierce. Woven into the story of Yoshi’s adventures in love, resistance, and sex, is a critique of the crushing violence of homonormativity and its deadly perpetuation of US patriotism, conservative kinship structures and affective accumulation. Homotopia holds cinematic assumptions hostage through its motley assemblage of never-passing crew. Race, gender, ability and desire are reworked through an anti-colonial take of queer struggle creating a visual rhythm of melancholic utopianism that knows there may be no future but still hopes today is not their last. Love revolution, not State delusion, Homotopia.
