Anniversary Screening: Queer As Punk (CHEN Yih-Wen, 2024)
Ma-Makan opened 3 years ago! To celebrate we’re hosting several activities during our anniversary-week and one of them is hosting the screening of Queer As Punk in collaboration with CiLENS.
✦ Come join us on Wednesday 12th, November at 6pm. Special popcorn and drinks will be available ☺
More about the film:
88 Min., Chinese, English, Malay with English subtitles
In Muslim-majority Malaysia, the punk band “Shh...Diam!” defiantly shouts what its name means: shut up. Led by transman Faris and joined by bandmates Yon and Yoyo, the group fights silence through their music, camaraderie, and radical presence. Set against Malaysia’s shifting political climate, Queer as Punk captures the band’s candid and humorous reflections on gender, love, family, anxiety, and hope. A portrait of queer resilience and defiance, the film reminds us that survival can be loud, messy, and utterly irresistible. (CiLENS)
⁑ The ticket cost will go directly to support the film distribution, if you would like to come but don’t have the financial means –please get in touch with us at mamakanberlin@gmail.com ♥
