Pamela fundraiser screening

Filmhuis Cavia, Amsterdam
Website

We are honoured to share Shu Lea Cheang’s monumental 1994 sci-fi debut, Fresh Kill, as part of the ongoing fundraising efforts to support our friends and neighbours at Pamela, a queer bar in Amsterdam West.

Shu Lea Cheang has spent her career creating works that elegantly grapple with the complexities of activism, racial and sexual politics, critical media theory, and erotic exploration. Her first feature, made in collaboration with Sarita Choudhury, Erin McMurtry, Vernon Reid, and Pedro Pietri, among many other cultural icons, shimmers with queer grace amidst a decaying New York of the future. Inspired by Staten Island’s notorious sprawling landfill and the Taiwanese government's nuclear pollution of Orchid Island, Cheang’s work offers us the ecofeminist wisdom we need to survive the grim realities of these times with our hearts and communities intact.

The screening will start at 18:00 with doors open (and margaritas shaking) from 17:00.

Let’s not let Pamela slip away!
