hitchcube Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Ever wondered why it's called IndigNation?"Where Pink Dot is about the freedom to love, IndigNation is about the freedom to be ourselves: the lesbian poet, the transgender game contestant, the bisexual artist, the gay sports enthusiast, the volunqueer, the questioning youth, the straight-ally, and everything else that we are in our expression."Read more here.

IndigNationSG Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Dear friends,IndigNation 2012, Singapore's 8th LGBT pride season, kicks off this Friday at 8pm at White House on Emily Hill, 11 Upper Wilkie Road:https://www.facebook.com/events/421869901188845/We're launching IndigNation this year with a double-bill – 'Time and Its Discontents', which forms the first half, is a screening of short films by gay and lesbian filmmakers including Michael Lee, Eva Tang and K. Rajagopal on the theme of time and memory. This is followed by 'The Day After 377A', a panel presentation that examines the local LGBT community’s past, present and futureOur opening event this year is by registration only.

In ‘One or Zero’, the filmmakers adopt visualethnography as a guiding framework to produce a collage of vignettes that peer into a gay man dealing with sexual awakening, celebrity identification, outing to family,romance, cruising, community, homophobia and the AIDS crisis. The film picked up an award in 1997: First Prize (Experimental Category), United Film and Video Association'sStudent FIlm and Video Awards, Texas. It was also banned in the then Board of Film Censors in 1997 for "condoning an alternative lifestyle."Eva Tang, ‘Londres – London’ (2006)Eva Tang’s ‘Londres-London’ is a tale of damaged love set against the backdrop of a London damaged by the 2005 bombings.Eva holds the distinction of being the first Singapore filmmaker who had her short film selected by Venice Film Festival in 2002; among other awards, ‘Londres-London’ has clinched the Governor Award of the Akira Kurosawa Memorial Short Film Competition, Best Artistic Film in Shanghai, and the Jury Recommendation at the Hong Kong Independent Short Film & Video Awards.K. Rajagopal, ‘Timeless’ (2010)What does the abolition of slavery and the murder of J.W.W Birch, which spearheaded the nationalism movement in Malaya, in Pasir Salak, Malaysia, on the 2nd November1875 and the massacre which discoloured the pages of Singapore's history on the 1st June 1969 have to do with an alienated post-modern man? Impotency can cast a longshadow over time, beyond its depiction, this is the story of Siva through the looking glass, woven over time with the threads of humanity.A veteran stage actor and television director, K. Rajagopal has the honour of being the only filmmaker to have won the Singapore International Film Festival Short Film Competition Special Jury Award for three consecutive years with I Can’t Sleep Tonight (1995), The Glare (1996) and Absence (1997). 'Timeless' was commissioned by the National Museum of Singapore.The Morning After 377A: Our Very Own Think-TankLynette Chua, Indulekshimi Rajeswari and Alex AuWhere have we been? How did we get here? Where should we go from here? Since the early 1990s, Singapore's lesbigay movement has grown and changed in many ways. As we await the pending decision of Tan Eng Hong in the Court of Appeal, socio-legal scholar Lynette Chua, lawyer Indulekshimi Rajeswari and socio-political blogger Alex Au look back at the trajectory of the movement over the past two decades and get you in on a discussion on how it can and should move forward.================We would be very grateful if you could also "like" the IndigNation SG Facebook page and check it for event updates:http://www.facebook.com/IndigNationSGhttps://www.facebook.com/IndigNationSG/eventsThank you.
