《彩虹的溫度》:記錄兩位韓國母親接納酷兒孩子的旅程
About this Event
Coming to You
Directed by Gyuri Byun/ 2021/ 93 Minutes/ South Korea/ Documentary
Gyuri Byun's groundbreaking Korean documentary centers on two working class mothers, Nabi and Vivian. Like many in South Korea, where there is a distinct lack of legal protections for queer communities and gay marriage remains illegal, neither women gave much thought to LGBTQ+ rights or its growing advocacy among the country's younger generations. Their lives and perceptions, however, are when their respective children come out to them – Nabi's daughter as trans, and Vivian's son as gay. Reluctant to accept this news at first, both women's reactions reveal deep-rooted discriminatory beliefs about queerness. This is not uncommon in South Korean society, which makes their respective transformations all the more impactful – both women grow to not only accept their children's gender and sexuality, but become activists in their own right as members of Parents, Families and Allies of LGBTAIQ+ People in Korea. Both Nabi and Vivian grapple with the pain and loneliness their children feel, the struggle to access gender affirming care, and the yearning for social and familial acceptance.
Following the film, join us for an insightful conversation with the screening's curator, Juyeon Bae, Research Professor from Critical Global Studies Institute, Sogang University, to discuss the social context of the documentary, the personal journeys of Nabi and Vivian, and the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights in South Korea. Post-screening talk will be conducted in English.
《彩虹的溫度》
導演:Gyuri Byun/2021年/93分鐘/南韓/紀錄片
Gyuri Byun這部具開創性的韓國紀錄片聚焦於兩位勞工階層的母親——Nabi與 Vivian。在南韓,同性婚姻仍屬非法,同志社群也明顯缺乏法律保障,如同許多韓國人一樣,這兩位母親最初對LGBTQ+權利或國內年輕世代日益高漲的相關倡議運動並未多加思考。然而,當她們各自的孩子向她們出櫃時——Nabi的女兒是跨性別者,Vivian的兒子是同性戀——她們的人生與觀念從此改變。兩位母親起初都難以接受這個事實,她們的反應揭示了社會中根深蒂固的歧視性觀念。這在南韓社會並不罕見,她們各自的轉變也因此更顯深刻——兩位母親不僅接納了孩子的性別與性傾向,更成為韓國LGBTQIA+人士親友組織(Parents, Families and Allies of LGBTAIQ+ People in Korea)的成員,以自己的方式投身行動。Nabi與 Vivian共同面對孩子所感受到的痛苦與孤獨、獲得性別肯定的艱難,以及對社會與家庭接納的渴望。
放映結束後將設有映後座談,觀眾將有機會與策展人南韓西江大學批判全球研究所研究教授Juyeon Bae 進行深入交流,探討紀錄片的社會背景、兩位母親的心路歷程,以及南韓LGBTQ+平權運動的現況。 映後談將以英語進行。
