上海酷儿影展(Shanghai Queer Film Festival,简称SHQFF)是一个全新的酷儿电影平台,通过放映世界各地优秀的酷儿新片,探讨性向,延展“性”的无限可能。这是一个为影人与观众打造的平台,让大家聚在一起分享、参与,探索LGBTQIA+(同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、酷儿、无性恋、双性人)的各类话题。

SHQFF相信,通过放映能更好地表达思想。我们追求电影中能展现多元的酷儿文化、思想火花的碰撞,希望能传达我们的观点、梦想与爱。我们想给影人,尤其是亚洲和中国的影人一个展示自己作品和发声的平台。我们的活动涉猎广泛,其中各类讨论交流会和人脉网络能帮助影人将自己的影片传播到更远的地方,同时拉近与观众的距离。

SHQFF是一个非赢利性的社群活动,完全由志愿者组织。活动免费并向所有人开放。我们正在为打造一个公开、安全的讨论环境而努力,让更多人能更深入地探讨电影及相关话题。

2017年9月,为期8天的首届上海酷儿影展顺利举行。作为一个全新的酷儿电影平台,我们很高兴通过放映世界各地优秀的酷儿影像,和大家一起探讨多元化的爱和酷儿文化。

短片竞赛的设置主要旨在为新生代影人,特别是亚洲影人提供一个开放的展示平台。作为影展重要内容之一,我们收到了超过60个国家和地区超过1000多部作品,在影展上,我们放映了最终入围的优秀短片,获得了观众的强烈反响。

2018年, 上海酷儿影展“短片竞赛单元”更名为“短片单元”,下设亚洲短片竞赛与世界短片展映两个分单元。我们希望在充分展示亚洲酷儿银幕形象的同时,增添影片编排的多元性,为亚洲及全世界的影人同时提供作品展示平台,也为本土观众带来更多优质内容。

2021年的亚洲短片竞赛分单元设置6个奖项:最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳摄影、最佳剧本、最佳演员、评审团大奖。世界短片展映分单元的入选影片不受评审及奖项颁发,但将作为官方入选在影展展映。

如果你的影片讲述的是发生在亚洲的LGBTQIA+故事,或有关亚洲LGBTQIA+角色经历,请不要犹豫,速速报名参加2021上海酷儿影展亚洲短片竞赛;如果你的影片中没有亚洲元素,但有关LGBTQIA+主题,请报名参加2021上海酷儿影展世界短片展映。无论你来自哪里,无论你身处怎样的文化,我们希望通过影片听到你的声音。

准备好加入这场酷儿短片盛宴了吗?赶快报名吧!

Shanghai Queer Film Festival (SHQFF) is a new platform for queer cinema, exploring sexuality and expanding gender through screenings of some of the best new films from around the world. We aim to be a space for filmmakers and audiences to meet, share and engage in what it means to be LGBTQIA+.

SHQFF believes in better representation on screen. We seek a diverse and intersectional queer culture in cinema, and further the dissemination of ideas, dreams, and love. We aim to provide filmmakers, especially those of Chinese and Asian backgrounds, with a platform to showcase their work and make their voices heard. Our industry outreach, including panel discussions and networking, helps you to take your film further and bring you closer to audiences.

SHQFF is a completely volunteer-run and not-for-profit community organization. Events are free and open to all, and we strive to create open and safe discussion spaces for deep engagement with the films and issues.

In September 2017, we all enjoyed a successful first SHQFF, which lasted for 8 days in Shanghai. Along with building a brand-new queer film platform, we were very happy to have screened outstanding queer films from across the globe and have opened up the discussion of love and queer culture in a diversified context.

The Short Film Competition was created to showcase new and emerging filmmakers, especially those from Asia. As an integral part of SHQFF, we have received over 1000 works from over 60 countries and regions. The finalists that we have presented at SHQFF received positive responses from our audiences.

In 2018, SHQFF’s Short Film Competition became a short film division before changing its name to 'SHQFF Shorts' in 2019, which includes two categories: the Asian Short Film Competition and the World Short Film Screening. It is our hope that we can more fully represent Asian films on screen, increasing the diversity of the festival while focusing in on Asian queer films. This will provide a platform to all participating filmmakers both in Asia and the world at large, while also bringing more quality content to our local audience.

This year, the Asian Short Film Competition will continue to offer six awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and the Grand Jury Award. Films chosen for the World Short Film Screening will not be judged or awarded but instead will be screened as part of our official selection during the festival.

If your film tells a story taking place in Asia or has an Asian lead character, please do not hesitate to sign up for the 2021 SHQFF Asian Short Film Competition. If your film is about LGBTQIA+ experiences outside the Asian perspective, please sign up for the 2021 SHQFF World Short Film Screening. We are very keen to hear your voices, no matter where you are or what culture you come from.

Are you ready for a feast of queer films? Sign up!

    I wasn’t able to come to the 2019 edition of the SHQFF, still I was so happy my movie was part of the selection. However, the communication with the festival has been difficult. The festival took ages to answer my emails and I didn’t get notified it was happening after it was postponed. I learnt the date it on the Facebook page and didn’t receive feedback after the edition, which is a bummer. There’s clearly something to be done about communication. Thx for screening my movie anyway.

    Response from festival:

    Dear filmmaker, please accept my sincere apology to bring you any difficulties in communication. 2019 has been a difficult year for us. The government's restrictions on LGBTQ films have been getting stricter and another film festival in Shanghai was fined for screening LGBTQ content. It took us a very long time to settle the timing of the screening and the time for us to prepare is highly limited. For a fully volunteer-run organization, we also can not afford filmmakers to come to the event. Nevertheless, we will definitely improve ourselves in communication in the new edition. Thank you again for submitting our film festival and your support, thank you for your kind suggestions!

  • Gio Olmos

    Congratulations on such a wonderful edition!

    Great curation, great vibes, great people, great audience. If you've got cool stuff on Asian queer, definitely submit. And try to come to one of the most exciting and vibrant cities in the world.
