Film Night – Living Legend Series: Wieland Speck

Although “Legendary” and “iconic” are overused in queer-speak, sometimes the terms fit the person, as it does for this month’s Film night. Join us for a rare opportunity to speak with Wieland Speck, one of queer cinemas “legends” about his own work as a director and his influence on queer cinema as chief curator and head of the prestigious Panorama section of the Berlinale film festival.
Typically out of the public eye, his most celebrated work “Westler”  is often shown as an example of queer cinema out of Germany, so to have him select from his body of work will give us an insider’s perspective on his intentions as a director and what is conveyed to the audience.
For the discussion we will explore particular themes in his films, his influence on the industry and his role in launching directors to the world stage. Please join us in honouring one of the living legends of queer cinema, the iconic Wieland Speck.
