75 SHOTS Pocket Cinema
75 SHOTS Pocket Cinema is a member-driven non-profit organization with the mission to fight against the persecution and criminalization of LGBTQ+ artists from countries in which homosexuality is still criminalized. We empower disenfranchised LGBTQ+ voices and expand mainstream storytelling narratives on our online platforms. Using digital media and art, our productions create international communities through collaborations, mentorships and development of artistic practices in a safe environment.
MANDATE
Empowering LGBTQ+ individuals in repressive nations through comprehensive training initiatives. Our approach involves both in-person and virtual public community screenings, coupled with engaging panel discussions. Additionally, we curate and present a diverse range of independent films, ingeniously crafted using smartphones. These films not only revel in individual distinctions and unity but also champion unfettered self-expression, immigrant narratives, cultural and sexual identities, as well as intercultural relationships. Through our efforts, we facilitate genuine self-portrayal, providing the queer community with a platform to amplify their voices to a wider audience. Notably, we shine a spotlight on films originating from oppressive regimes, further amplifying their significance. This democratization of filmmaking, through the use of smartphones, underscores our commitment to inclusivity and empowerment.
