AMN Seasonal Festival - Summer 2024 SMOOTH PINK FRESH & CRUDE

I am a form
expressing itself in the earth's crust
wringing itself out - Een Lichaam Dragen, Hannah Chris Lomans
Queer has had a long history of being a word that signals otherness, strangeness, that can carry the tune of disdain, yet also a unifying word that is possessed by its people. But who are those people, and how did we get to come together? In a quest to think about what does a queer way of being feel, sound, or taste like, this summer Asian Movie Night has prepared a diverse and complex program that navitages queer life, embodiment, and desire.
Smooth Pink Fresh & Crude is made up of a feature film screening of an avant garde classic from late 60s Japan, as well as a selection of short films from varied parts of the world that discuss different aspects of queerness, whether in the abstract or the tangible.
We will screen 1 feature film and 4 short films: Funeral Parade of Roses (1969), Dancing Colors(2022), Dismantle Me (2023), Beast (2023), Futon (2012), All films are screened in their original language with English subtitles. More info about the films here.
