Filmvorführung: Life Unrehearsed
Seminarraum 6, Rabinstraße 8, Sonntag, 22. Juni um 18:00 MESZ
(KR/DE, English subtitles) Banpark Jieun
organisiert vom Queer-Referat
In-Sun and Soohyun first met in the 1980s in the Harz, when both of them participated in a Christian women’s retreat, soon making up their minds to spend their lives together. After they immigrated to Germany, they worked as nurses until their retirement. But they have never stopped caring for others. While Soohyun continuously devotes her professional skills to help an injured elderly heal, In-Sun has initiated an international hospice project, providing immigrants from different cultural backgrounds with a sense of at-home-ness. The two queer women are also connected with many politically engaged groups in the civil society, actively shaping and influencing their local community.
The unrehearsed but carefully self-examined life of In-Sun and Soohyun will engage the audience with questions concerning the tensions between different aspects of one’s identity arising out of social experience and how one’s life may unfold in the midst these. Furthermore, the film wishes to uplift young queer immigrants who might encounter marginalization and feel alienated by the unfamiliar culture through showing them an example of community building.
This event is accompanied by a discussion with the director Banpark Jieun, where audience members are welcomed to share their own experiences and ask questions.
