Screening followed by discussion led by Ungsan Kim, Assistant Professor of Asian Cinema in the Department of Asian Languages & Literature and Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Cinema & Media Studies at the University of Washington. His research interests and specialization span across Korean cinema, inter-Asian cinema, contemporary Vietnamese and Chinese language cinema, queer cinema and media cultures of Asia, Asian horror cinema, experimental cinema, and documentary. He is currently at work on a monograph, Future Imperfect. The book traces a genealogy of critical and political queer cinema of Asia. With the book, he seeks to demonstrate how contemporary queer Asian cinema provides refreshed conceptions of queerness and temporality and how it engages with audiovisual experimentations as a means of defying normative ways of representing cinematic subjects and progressive history.
