ShanghaiPRIDE Film Festival Closing Night
June 26th
For more details, please see the full Festival Program at shpride.com/films
Closing Film
Laurence Anyways (2012 Canada)
Director: Xavier Dolan
On the eve of her 35th birthday, Laurence Alia comes out as a transgender woman. Over the next 10 years, she embarks on a journey to become the woman she was born to be. Xavier Dolan’s multi-award winning film became an instant classic upon release. At its heart is Laurence’s relationship with her girlfriend Fred, passionate and violent in equal measure as each undergoes her own transformation. Dolan’s distinctively bombastic visuals and trademark soundtrack have never been more powerful, ‘breathless cinematic energy…an entirely new love story.’
Short Films
Out in Chongqing (2016 China)
Director: Jie Ren
A documentary about parents of LGBTQ people, their journey to accept their children and their quest for equal rights.
Bad Love (2015 China)
Director: Gary Yong
Gary Yong digs into heartbreak territory with the splinters of his own broken heart, mining the fields of nonfiction, reenactment, and pop imagery for common truths on the transient, fragile nature of human relationships. An unabashed visual love poem based on real life.
