QUEER AS PUNK

Fri, 24 Oct, 9.45 pm, CITY 46 Bremen
Wed, 29 Oct, 7 pm, JUB Bremerhaven
Malaysia/Indonesia 2025 | Documentary | Dir: Yihwen Chen | 88 min. | English-Malaysian OV with German subtitles

“Shh…Diam!” roughly translates to “Shut up!” and is the name of the Malaysian punk band that shouts its truth to the world. For the group, punk is a form of resistance against the restrictive military state’s treatment of queer people and the associated fear. But being together also means for them to form a loving chosen family, who have each other’s backs. The band members Faris, Yoyo, and Yon are creating a space for self-realization, physical transformation, love, and political engagement under a government that offers no film funding, pits religion, longings, and identity against each other, and criminalizes the LGBT scene. What a relief that there is a band that laughs, flirts, plays music, and lets off some steam.
