[Commlist] Call for short films by artists/filmmakers whose films explore themes of gay male homosexual life and/through comedy

Sat Dec 18 17:35:51 GMT 2021





*Films are sought by artists/filmmakers whose films explore themes of gay male homosexual life and/through comedy*

Homo Humour explores the history of comedy as a queer identity defence, a means of expression and storytelling and the subversive and surprising ways that humour can be used on screen. Homo Humour responds to the growing interest in LGBTQ+ folk using film and moving image to tell their stories by focusing purely on humour. Whilst the concept of humour helping LGBTQ+ people is an interesting (and vital) world to explore, this event seeks to also engage wider groups of artists, academics and students interested in film and/or the study of humour. We also invite health/inclusion/wellbeing practitioners who are interested in how comedic storytelling may encourage people’s understanding of LGBTQ+ communities. Homo Humour, curated by Lee Campbell was first presented at Edgezones gallery in Miami in January 2020 and then at Sardinia Pride/Queeresima in June 2020 bringing together emerging and established gay male artists/independent filmmakers for the first time from all over the world.

Submissions are sought for future Homo Humour screenings planned in the UK and abroad. In this context queer male means Gay male.
Maximum length 20 minutes Deadline for submission: January 15th 2022
