Two Saturdays ago, a modest crowd gathered at The Boat on Beijing’s Liangmahe road because they wanted to watch queer films. Not an easy thing to do in China says the screening’s organizer, Xiao Gang, of China Queer Film Talk (CQFT), but through their efforts and those of others, this taboo is starting to change.
“Many people don’t really have a chance to see Chinese queer films,” said Xiao. “It’s hard to get them online.”
Come to the Boat on Saturday afternoon to watch queer movies! The Boat, a bar and disco drifting on the Liang Ma river, provides the perfect tranquil environment to spend your Saturday afternoons watching great films. Enjoy a delicious Boat lunch or just have a coffee while you share in the joy and sadness of your favorite LGBT film heroes. Entry Fee: 30 RMB, includes 1 drink. ADDRESS: Liang Ma He Nanlu Nr. 8, South of Jingcheng Dasha, big white boat on the Liang Ma river TEL.: 010-64605512
