Welcome to Queer Britain

Part of the film series for LGBT Month and Chinese New Year 2019, Queer Chinese Representations on Transnational Screens.

Directed by He Xiaopei

Yvo and Chrissy explores the alternative lives chosen by two English people who between them gave up an inheritance of £1m, several properties and a phallus to become a poet, writer, performer, diver and transgender traveller, film maker and musician respectively. The film looks at their witty, gloomy and humorous stories to inspire thinking on how social norms and movements interplay with identities, humanities and well-being.

The screening is 64 minutes long and will be followed by an In Conversation event with each director, chaired by Dr Hongwei Bao with Dr Jamie J Zhao.

When: Thursday 7 February, 2-3.30pm
Where: Djanogly Theatre, Lakeside Arts, University Park Campus
Tickets: Free, advanced booking recommended on the Lakeside website, suitable for ages 16+

Organised by the Centre of Contemporary East Asian Cultural Studies, University of Nottingham
