Queer Boys and Girls on the Shinkansen (20th Anniversary)

This omnibus film began as a community project in 2004, and this  special screening celebrates its 20th anniversary. Queer Boys and Girls  on the Shinkansen brought together a diverse group of eleven people –  filmmakers, photographers, manga artists, drag queens, dancers, poets,  and art directors – who were each asked to produce a 5-minute short on  gay and lesbian themes. The result: a queer film, by queer filmmakers,  for a queer audience, incorporating drama, experimental film, and  animation. Whether you feel nostalgic about those days, or were just a  baby back then, the films take you on a train journey through a  landscape of collective memories and shared experience.
