In honour of Pride month, the Barbican will be screening Bye Bye Love - a Japanese indie feature film, depicting an anarchist genderqueer relationship.

The film was unprecedented and unheard of for its time, but contributed to the growing representation of queer culture in Japanese cinema. The film was rescued in 2018 by Suzuki Akihiro who unearthed the negative through re-premiering the film and providing a new print.

This event is part of the Barbican’s Queer 70s programme - films and bodies of work that reflect the social and political change for the queer community during this period.

The film will be screening in Barbican cinemas 2 and 3.
