Premiere Party! Come to our queer film night to be one of the first people to watch “Comrades, you’ve worked hard!”, a documentary which brings you the full story of the Mr. Gay China Pageant and its sudden cancellation. Both the organizers and the contestants of the pageant will be present, and will talk freely with the audience on what exactly happened on that faithful night in January.
COMRADES, YOU’VE WORKED HARD! Director: Xiaogang Wei, China 2010, 50 min Queer Comrades Production
The first ever Mr. Gay China Competition! An event to show off the fashionable and sunny side of gayness to Chinese society! A contest filled with hot body guys! The announcement of the first ever Mr. Gay China Pageant sent flaming ripples throughout the gay community.
The excitement was soon gone however when the event was cancelled just hours before it was supposed to start. Suddenly, the perspectives of the gay movement went from sunny to bleak – the cancellation meant a blow to all queers on the mainland. The mainstream media immediately jumped into action and tried to find an explanation for the debacle: did the organizers cancel the event themselves? Were they trying to cheat all the people who bought a ticket to the show? Why was the police there and where did they take the organizers?
Queer Comrades brings you the full story. From the early preparations to the final blow-out, “Comrades, you’ve worked hard” shows you the wild rollercoaster ride of contrasting emotions that was the Mr. Gay China Competition.
Can entertainment exist without politics? Has the Chinese gay movement taken a step forwards or backwards? We leave it up to you to decide…
Watch Queer Films on a big screen! Every month, Queer Comrades ( www.queercomrades.com) and CNEX Salon Cafe treat you to a queer program of films. Delving into the fabulous depths of LGBT imagery, we serve up Chinese and foreign fiction films, complemented by Queer Comrades documentaries.

同志们辛苦了

同志亦凡人视频
轰轰烈烈，沸沸扬扬的中国彩虹先生评选在媒体，公众和公权力的关注下尘埃落定，一场本想尽展时代进步的同志选美比赛，却在最后时刻被迫取消，给中国同志运动的前景蒙上了黄沙般未卜的阴影。负责人的失踪，警察的到来，自行取消比赛，骗钱的活动，一时间这场美丽的约会成为了各国媒体争相报道的香饽饽。谁是谁非？是运动还是活动？是进步还是退步？让我们用自己的眼睛来揭开这场比赛前前后后故事的寓意。同志亦凡人用摄影机记录了中国彩虹先生从准备到结束的全过程，绝对独家不可错过！
