Peru: Anti-homophobic protection law repealed by Congress in May 2017.

UNDERTOW / Contracorriente (Dir. Javier Fuentes-León, 2009)
Magic realism, village life, loving yourself.
It is easy to be out in a cosmopolitan, urban environment. But when you are the only queer in the village, and you are a popular and respected guy, and you have the love and devotion of a wonderful wife… why rock the boat? Ah, but being yourself may just be a matter of life and death.
–A beautiful and gentle parable about queerness.

FILM QLUB SEASON 8
‘NO VICTIM’ : LGBTQ EXPERIENCE AROUND THE WORLD

INTRO TO SEASON
For the first time, all legal discrimination of LGB people has now been abolished in Ireland. There is much to do still, socially and culturally, but discriminatory laws are the symbolic and material equivalent of a great wall.
Meanwhile today, in 2017, homosexuality is illegal in 72 countries, legally punishable by death in 13, subject to life imprisonment in 12 countries, and subject to 7-15 years imprisonment in 55 more. A terror of non-conforming gender roles is at the core of homophobia, and the oppression of women continues, while transgendered, intersex, and transexual people are still being corralled, ‘corrected’, and punished.
BUT…
…queers all over the world are fighting back. And they are making powerful, beautiful films, sharp as blades, clear as banners, warm as fires, in order to document, celebrate, and inspire resistance.
Come and learn what our sisters and brothers are facing across the world. Come and see how they are fighting back, hurling their films at the mighty rampaging giant of homophobia. Come and see what happens before Goliath falls.
