Queer Japan, a film night in collaboration with Okaeri (LA) and J-Sei
Friday, October 23, 6:30 pm
Join us for a film talk on QUEER JAPAN, a feature documentary about LGBTQ+ Artists and Activists in Japan, directed by Graham Kolbeins.
Trailblazing artists, activists, and everyday people from across the spectrum of gender and sexuality defy social norms and dare to shine in this kaleidoscopic view of LGBTQ+ culture in contemporary Japan. From glossy pride parades to playfully perverse underground parties, Queer Japan pictures people living brazenly unconventional lives in the sunlight, the shadows, and everywhere in between.

Graham Kolbeins is a Canadian queer filmmaker, writer, and designer living in Los Angeles. As a recipient of the Japan-U.S. Friendship Council Creative Artists Exchange Fellowship in 2016, Kolbeins spent five months directing Queer Japan, a feature documentary about sexuality and gender identity in Japan.
