Beyond the Narrative: Asynchronicity and Fragmentation in Canadian Queer Experimental Film (1990-2000) - A Guide for Postsecondary Education

Abstract

"ABOUT OUR EDUCATIONAL GUIDES SERIES One of the central goals of Archive/Counter-Archive is to increase public engagement with our partner organizations and their collections through an “activation” of archival materials that foregrounds the pressing need to rethink what archives can/might do in the 21st century. In order to achieve this goal, we have developed a series of Educational Guides designed to accompany film and video from A/CA’s Case Studies and facilitate their integration into K-12 and postsecondary classrooms. About the Guide This guide introduces a selection of queer experimental films and videos curated by Chris Chong Chan Fui. It includes a curatorial essay written by Chong, a list of 4 works suggested for classroom viewing, synopses, and discussion questions oriented toward a range of thematic areas."
