The BLUE/S Screening Series is a spin-off of the 2021 ESMoA Video Art + Film Festival, where longer than 60-sec films will be virtually screened on ESMoA website for a long weekend. This weekend we will be screening two documentaries about love.
Bubby & Them by Hazel Katz, Je’Jae Cleopatra Daniels – USA
Bubby & Them is a docufictional short video about the relationship between two liminal members of the Lower East Side Orthodox Jewish community: Je’Jae, a genderqueer college student, and Razi, their adoptive grandmother. The movie examines how the two femmes support each other in their struggles, share space, and create a chosen family. English 19:22 min
Ishq-e-Risk by Rupal Poddar – India
The film focuses on the idea of love in India where love is inherited to us by Bollywood songs, spun around mythological tales, valentine‟s day celebration, Chetan Bhagat‟s novels etc but falling in love is still fraught with problems of acceptance as taboos around “love” are still intact. The film aims to deal with people who have had to make major life choices because the love and compassion inherited to us became a problem for their family or stigma to the society. Hindi with English subtitles. 24:41min
