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

*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
