Queer China, 'Comrade' China

Director: Cui Zi'en

Directed by Cui Zi’en, China’s leading queer theorist, activist and scholar, the documentary includes rarely seen footage of the first ever appearance of gays and lesbians on State television, including Cui Zi’en himself. The film features exclusive interviews with over three dozen leading queer activists, scholars and filmmakers, including Shi Tou, Li Yinhe and Zhang Yuan. Queer China, ‘Comrade’ China is nothing less than the most authoritative account of queer cultural history in China to date.
