"Queer/Violence" a multimedia film event featuring Homotopia, with a public lecture with Chris Vargas and Eric Stanley.
Set sometime in the future-present “Homotopia” chronicles a group of radical queer’s dedicated to exposing the trouble with gay marriage, dismantling the State, undoing Empire, while looking totally fierce.
Woven into the story of Yoshi's adventures in love, resistance, and sex, is a critique of the crushing violence of homonormativity and its deadly perpetuation of US patriotism, conservative kinship structures and affective accumulation
“Homotopia” holds cinematic assumptions hostage through its motley assemblage of never-passing crew. Race, gender, ability and desire are reworked through an anti-colonial take of queer struggle creating a visual rhythm of melancholic utopianism that knows there may be no future but still hopes today is not their last.
***Love revolution, not State delusion, Homotopia.***
Chris E. Vargas is a queer-tranny-feminist film and video maker originally from the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. Along with revolutionizing queer cinema Chris is also interested in community access media, recreational ornithology, and shoplifting.
Eric A. Stanley is a radical queer activist, outlaw academic and experimental filmmaker S/he is also currently in the History of Consciousness program at the UCSC. Eric’s work has been published in That’s Revolting! Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation, Nobody Passes as well as magazines and journals.
