We were showing in Berlin last night❤️. Germany is honestly a second home for us. We’re very happy that Bpoc people in the diaspora have connected so well to this film.

I’m still thinking through how they both were queer and still had to translate this through heterosexual examples.

Some people have expressed interest in seeing Displaced: Black & Queer dm your email address and we’ll send you a link.

[BlaQueer Films @BlaQ_queer]

@bonganiisaac @YolzYako @chimurengpapi That’s true. Peep the header, that’s Displaced: Black & Queer showing in Berlin last year. There you can see one of the queer couples we interviewed in 2017. When we shot it we also shared food and wine. We discussed: coming out, love & religion everything really.

[BlaQueer Films @BlaQ_queer]

We are happy to announce our next project in collaboration with @YolzYako. We’ll be creating a queer love series where we interview Queer couples over dinner and wine. Queer couples based in CPT who’d be open to sharing their love story with us please DM us or @chimurengpapi

@DrQabaka @YolzYako @chimurengpapi @QueTheAfrikan Thank you so much we will reach out

[BlaQueer Films @BlaQ_queer]

@bonganiisaac @YolzYako @chimurengpapi people will draw similarities to Black queer love which is okay. Queer stories need to be told. The project is about holding space for queer people. I shot my first film Displace Black & queer in a similar way. We interviewed queers including couples. I can plug you with a link?

@sipho_wotshela @YolzYako @chimurengpapi Hey there, thank you so much we’ll be in touch

[Maseve wa Mina @Mhanintsongo]

Basically black queer love with food?

[BlaQueer Films @BlaQ_queer]

@Papantsongo18 We haven’t quite figured out the format yet. Black queer love was beautiful & we’re definitely inspired by it. What my partner & I will be doing is inviting queer couples to our house and sharing with each other how we navigate the world as queer people.

[Dr N Mdlokolo @chimurengpapi]

As promised this is the news we wanted to share. As queer people we’re often erased. We are even rejected by our own families. My partner & I have decided to create something that will affirm queer love & remind us that we are seen & that we matter.

Displaced Black & Queer showing in Berlin, July 2018. Proud to announce we’ve been invited to IN*VISION https://t.co/14NQYS93Mp a queer feminist festival in Berlin.

[BlaQueer Films @BlaQ_queer]

I’ve been so immensely inspired by Pose. I can’t wait to write and create films that affirm Queer people. 🏳️‍🌈

[BlaQueer Films @BlaQ_queer]

We’re working on a Black Queer movie night. Plans are also in the works for a screening of Displaced Black & Queer in JHB. DMs are open for any suggestions or requests.
