CINEQUEER: Mama Rainbow

On Thursday, Electric Shadows launches CINEQUEER – a new series showcasing the best queer films they can find, every other Thursday at Caffe O’Henry.

They kick off CINEQUEER with new documentary by Fan Popo MAMA RAINBOW. This screening will show the full version of the film (80mins) and will be followed by a Director Q&A.
For Chinese parents, finding out that their kid is gay usually presents a major tragedy, with the big majority utterly unable to accept the homosexuality of their son or daughter. However, during recent years a fresh rainbow wind has been blowing over the Chinese mainland: a pioneer generation of Chinese parents has been stepping up and speaking out on their love for their gay kids. This documentary features 6 mothers from all over China, who talk openly and freely about their experiences with their homosexual children. With their love, they are giving a whole new definition to Chinese-style family bonds.
