爱无边界 ｜ BOUNDLESS
酷儿，音译自queer，本意同odd，贬义，指古怪的，不同寻常的人。随着时代的变迁，该词的含义不断发生变化，逐渐从狭隘的贬义变为包容的广义，现成为性别/性向少数社群代名词——换言之，不同寻常的人。非传统，非二元，非贬义。
因为不同，所以多元。酷儿从来不需要去改变自己，需要改变的是社会的偏见。
“Ku’er” is the Chinese transliteration of the English word “queer”, which originally meant odd, eccentric, or unconventional. Its meaning has evolved from an adjective that demeans sexual minorities to one that celebrates those who are unique and extraordinary. It is non-traditional and non-binary, and carries a positive connotation.
We thrive because of our differences. Queers have never needed to change themselves. It is social prejudices that need to be fixed.
上海酷儿影展从成立之初至今，一直致力于通过多元视角的影像艺术，结合形式丰富的线下活动，与观众共同探索广阔的酷儿文化。我们无意对酷儿一词再作多余的诠释，因为定义即狭义；我们也无需挑战酷儿含义的边界，因为酷儿之爱本身无界。
Since its establishment, SHQFF has been devoted to exploring broader queer culture through multi-perspective film art and integrated off-line activities. We have no intention to further clarify what queer is, because all definitions are limitations; we have no intention to challenge the boundaries of queerness, because queerness is boundless.
爱无边界
BOUNDLESS
2020上海酷儿影展将以“爱无边界”为年度主题，摆脱释义的束缚，呈现具有多重交叉身份的酷儿图鉴。
BOUNDLESS is the theme for SHQFF 2020, moving beyond the restrictions of definitions and presenting a mosaic of boundless queer identities.
我们相信，酷儿身份并非只是单一固化的标签，酷儿影像也远比目前主流银幕上所展现的要更加丰富多元。因此，在今年的影展策划过程中，我们加大了对选片里酷儿身份多样化与交叉性的考虑，希望能与观众一起，从相近的故事中发现自我，亦或自陌生的故事里寻求共鸣。从天南海北的种族/文化身份，到不拘一格的性别/性向认同；从普世的平等价值，到独特的个人经历，银幕内外，不同寻常。
We believe that queerness is not a simple and stereotyped label, and queer film is broader than what is popular in the mainstream. This year, our selected features focus more on the diversity and intersections of queer identities. Together with our audience, we look forward to finding ourselves in relatable stories or finding resonance in unfamiliar stories. From a multitude of racial and cultural identities to shifting gender and sexual identities, from universal values of equality to unique personal experiences, on and off the silver screen, we are always pushing the boundaries.
接下来，我们邀请不同寻常的你与我们一起，通过不同寻常的故事，消弭边界，拥抱多元。
This is our invitation for you: come and join us, erase boundaries, and embrace diversity through these extraordinary stories!
