Rainbow Bridge : Chinese Queer Short Film Showcase

《彩虹心桥》汇集了四部华语短片，以真切的方式呈现了同志群体在性别身份探索和情感关系中的微妙张力。这些影片没有聚焦于显性的冲突，而是透过镜头关注社会结构中的隐性压力：微妙的文化偏见、家庭中的冷淡，以及个体在自我认同上的挣扎。引用朱迪斯·巴特勒在《抵抗中的脆弱性》中提出的“易损性”概念，影片对脆弱性究竟是“失灵”的前兆，还是因体制失灵而被揭示的结果这一问题提出疑问。本片集邀请观众重新审视酷儿群体在主流社会中被忽视的体验和心理负担，推动对多元身份的理解与共鸣。

在这些隐形压力下，酷儿主人公们依然秉持自我与执着。包容、爱与支持的情感力量通过影片传递给你，也欢迎你将这份力量继续传递下去。

‘Rainbow Bridge’ brings together four Chinese-language short films that authentically portray the subtle tensions faced by the LGBTQ+ community in their explorations of gender identity and emotional relationships. Rather than focusing on explicit conflicts, these films turn the lens towards the invisible pressures embedded within societal structures: nuanced cultural biases, familial indifference, and personal struggles with self-identity. Drawing on Judith Butler’s concept of “precarity,” these films ask whether vulnerability is a precursor to systemic dysfunction or a condition exposed by the system’s own failures. This collection invites viewers to re-evaluate the overlooked experiences and psychological burdens of queer individuals within mainstream society, fostering empathy and resonance with diverse identities.

Amid these hidden pressures, the queer protagonists continue to pursue self-discovery, demonstrating a deep passion for life and dedication to their identities. Through these films, the emotional power of inclusion, love, and support is conveyed to you, inviting you to carry forward this message.
