SUMMARY:Chinese-language Queer Film Screening 華語酷兒影展
DESCRIPTION:Chinese Pride New Zealand is collaborating with Beijing Queer Film Festival and Nowhere Bookstore\, bringing new Chinese queer voices to Christchurch! We will be screening New Moon Chapter One新月一章\, a documentary feature film directed by Li Xinyue\, part of the most recent Beijing Queer Film Festival selection. \nBeijing Queer Film Festival is currently the only film festival in mainland China to offer a public forum to films and discussions exploring sexuality and gender identities. \nAbout the film – New Moon Chapter One新月一章\nIn July 2020\, I returned to my hometown\, Harbin\, where I had been away for six years. At the age of 24\, the trajectory of my life came to a halt\, and I began to re-examine how I had been carried along and shaped by the currents of life. “Xinyue” (“New Moon”) was the name my mother gave me\, inspired by the beauty she looked up to amid pain and chaos. It led me to reflect on the 1990s\, the decade I was born\, and to examine the eternal entanglement between hopeful aspirations and harsh realities.

SUMMARY:Film - 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture
DESCRIPTION:1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture is a feature documentary that follows the story of tireless researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a grave mistranslation of the Bible in 1946. \nIt chronicles the discovery of never-before-seen archives at Yale University which unveil astonishing new revelations\, and casts significant doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice. Featuring commentary from prominent scholars as well as opposing pastors\, including the personal stories of the film’s creators\, 1946 is at once challenging\, enlightening\, and inspiring. \nCome join us at All Souls Church in Merivale as we show this important film in an inclusive and affirming space.
