“I am a formexpressing itself in the earth's crust
wringing itself out” – Een Lichaam Dragen, Hannah Chris Lomans
Queer has had a long history of being a word that signals otherness, strangeness, that can carry the tune of disdain, yet also a unifying word that is possessed by its people. But who are those people, and how did we get to come together? In a quest to think about what does a queer way of being feel, sound, or taste like, this summer Asian Movie Night (https://asianmovienight.com/Asian-Movie-Night-Summer-Edition-2024) has prepared a diverse and complex program that navigates queer life, embodiment, and desire.
At Filmhuis Cavia, Smooth Pink Fresh & Crude is screening a selection of short films from varied parts of the world that discuss different aspects of queerness, whether in the abstract or the tangible.

M. Reza Fahriyansyah | 2022 | ID | 15’ | Indonesian, EN subs
Feeling that their highly sensitive son Dika is abnormal, his parents decide to undertake a ritual. They call on an imam to chase away a jinn, but is the resulting dance a successful ritual – or just a performance?
DISMANTLE ME
Max Disgrace | 2023 | UK | 13’ | English, no subs
A comical proposition turns into an arousing powerplay when a smoldering-hot trans woman helps a heartbroken trans man tidy his messy bedroom.
BEAST
Aileen Ye | 2023 | NL | 15’ | Chinese, EN subs
A martial arts inspired dance-fight between a lion dancer and queer performer reflecting the tension between traditional and modern identities in a dreamscape nightmare.
FUTON
Yoriko Mizushiri | 2012 | JP | 6’ | English, no subs
Wrapped in the futon… Memories are coming to the mind, the future is imagined, senses are recaptured, physical feelings as a woman are deeply ingrained…Everything melts pleasantly all together. In the futon, the body wonders, seeking for these senses…
