A Quiet Revolution
The
OUT Film Festival was first held in 2011 at the Goethe-Institut in partnership with
Gay Kenya Trust. The festival not only purposes to celebrate queer cinema but also make known that a community the general society deems secret and insignificant exists. This year the festival promises a selection of films and documentaries from across the world. Daily screenings will be complimented with panels discussing matters involving the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity community (SOGI).
While some of us have always wanted to live in a world that is committed to queer people’s thriving it is not without ambivalence. Is there a point to a revolution where indeed our love may be recognized legally but we still end up loving with more rules, not fewer? How do you love yourself when you do not look like what society says you are supposed to look like?
