This year, we are excited to host a special presentation and discussion with Dr. Benedict Morrison, Dr. Jonathan Evans, and Dr. Guo Ting about “Translating Anglophone Queer Cinema into Chinese: Imagination, Identification and Representation”.
We also invited key members of QAFOne and Jihua for an interesting workshop. They shared the founding stories of their organizations and their views on the development of LGBTQ films.
