XPOSED
[CULTURE] After seeing a lack of queer film being represented in the Berlin Pride Week celebrations and feeling a need to show International Queer Stories to a very hungry Berlin and International Audience, XPOSED was created!
Xposed is one of the only film festivals around that dedicate each edition to a specific land or country. The festival has in the past done focuses on Queer Films from Australia, Canada, Korea, Turkey, Germany & most recently Spain. It is the festivals intention to show Queer life in other lands, how it is and how it is different from ours, as it is the best way to start discussions on certain Queer Realities.
Xposed International Queer Film Festival are no longer able to hold their Annual event on the little to no budget they have had for the past 6 years, and it is because of this and the very large task of putting together a three day focus on Queer Films from the Middle East, that they have been doing an online begging (fundraising) campaign.
Take the time and visit the Campaign link below, have a read through their campaign and take a look at why they need our help. The festival is well known for researching and putting together great programs of shorts and this year will be their first year where they venture into screening Feature Films and Documentaries as well. Their programs have also been screened at a number of various other International Film Festivals such as The Molodist Internatonal Film Festival Kyiv, Mumbai Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival, The Mardi Gras Film Festival, Australia & Most recently they put together a program for the LGBT History Month Project in Romania.
