Queer Japan(EARD)

Filmed across three years and drawn from more than 100 interviews, Graham Kolbein’s documentary provides perhaps one of the most expansive and insightful roll calls of Japanese wildly varied LGBTQ culture. Ranging from drag queens to transgender politician, and from an erotic manga artist to a gender-fluid performance artist, Queer Japan is proof of the joie de vivre of individuals who dare not to conform to the sometimes stifling social norms in their country, in all its manic and multicoloured glory.
