Last Friday Sadhbh and Paddy were joined by Yi Wang, the festival director, curator and creator of Queer East Festival!
Hear Yi talk about the festival's humble beginnings from a simply Google search of "How to show a film at a cinema", the importance of representation of LGBTQ+ cinema from East and Southeast asia and how he sees the progress that has already been made.
Queer East is a cross-disciplinary festival that showcases boundary-pushing LGBTQ+ cinema, live arts, and moving image work from East and Southeast Asia and its diaspora communities.
Queer East 2024 is the fifth edition of the festival and takes place from 18th April to 27th April
