Glimpses of the film- Devi (1960)

#queerfilmclub #screening #devi #SatyajitRay #NewIndianCinema #ParallelCinema

[Queer Film Club @FilmClubQueer]

In the film, Dayamoyee signifies the female #sexuality policed by the patriarch of the household, in the absence of her husband. The boundaries between the permissible and the forbidden determine the fate of the lives at the #margin (Devi or Rakkhoshi)

[Queer Film Club @FilmClubQueer]

Devi offers us a chance to investigate diverse multi-layered themes that speak of the human-ness in the divine and divine in the human-ness. The film places a young woman Dayamoyee in between two men in contrasting positions (superstitious father-in-law and the rational husband).

We are conducting our next #screening on 20th August!

Join us for the screening of the acclaimed #SatyajitRay's film “#Devi".

A little bit about the Director: @TamaraShogaolu is an interdisciplinary artist, director, and creative technologist. She is a recipient of the 2020 Creative Capital Award and was nominated for The Netherlands Film Festival’s Golden Calf (also known as the Dutch Oscar).

[Queer Film Club @FilmClubQueer]

As the queer community of Egypt struggles to survive under oppressive control in a largely queer-phobic country, we share with you another film by @tamarashogaolu that centres queer couples and their resilience against all odds.

[Queer Film Club @FilmClubQueer]

Another Dream is the second installment of Queer In A Time of Forced Migration. Set against the backdrop of post-revolution Egypt, it tells a story of survival and of hope.

HALF A LIFE is the first installment of QUEER IN A TIME OF FORCED MIGRATION- an animated transmedia series that follows the stories of LGBTQ refugees from Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia across continents and cultures

[Queer Film Club @FilmClubQueer]

Pathbreaking animation filmmakers like @tamarashogaolu are bringing queer narratives from Egypt to the fore. These films cover a range of issues faced by the queer communities in Egypt and the rest of the Arab world.

[Queer Film Club @FilmClubQueer]

A film worth watching is 'Half A Life' - a timely story of activism and hope, set in the increasingly dangerous, oppressive, and unstable social climate of Egypt today.
