  • Silk Street London, England, EC2Y 8DS United Kingdom (map)

Change was in the air in the 1980s. Queer filmmakers seized the camera to tell new stories in different ways and more interesting, provocative and unapologetic depictions of LGBTQ+ people made it to the big screen. Join us on a journey across all six continents through 1980s queer cinema from East & West Germany, Scandinavia, the Soviet Union, the USA, Brazil, Japan, South Africa and New Zealand, showing LGBTQ+ lives on the edge of extraordinary change.

Political correctness flies out the window in Genji Nakamura’s outrageous gay erotic comedy, which satirises author and nationalist Yukio Mishima and his private army.
