Mona finds archived photographs of Arab women cross-dressing in the Middle East in the 1920s. Somewhere between her fantasies and reality, she starts a feverish journey of uncovering her own identity. 

It's a concept that emerges in Yuke's world, owing to the asymmetry in the morphology of philo- and phobic inclinations: both the prefix and the suffix are allowed to cluster around their selfless companions - mirrors.

Oscar is a child growing in his parents’ garden. His body develops in the dirt so no one knows his biological sex. He wishes to be a boy and, moreover, to become a brave paratrooper just like his father... 

The screening

A quarter of a century. Pink Screens is all grown up and what a joy it is to look back. On this special occasion, we also looked around. This is how we met the Beijing Queer Film Festival, also celebrating its 25th edition this year!

Our two festivals have come together to create a joint programme of shorts from our previous editions, exploring identity in all its forms and the collective memory of our communities. Let’s celebrate 25 years by revisiting who we were, understanding who we are today, and catching a glimpse of who we might become.
