Pride in Ordinary Times brings together five short films (The Night, My Dear Dear Home, Christian, New Beijing, New Marriage, Modern Masturbation Allegory) from mainland China, the Chinese diaspora, and the United Kingdom that move beyond narratives of trauma to explore what happens after visibility. Rather than focusing solely on suffering, these works turn their attention towards everyday acts of becoming: falling in love, getting married, reconciling with family, negotiating faith, discovering desire, and learning to inhabit one’s own body.
The screening will be followed by a brief panel discussion featuring Professor Ho Lok Victor Fan (King’s College London) and film programmer Jane Zhenyi Wei.
