Ilk عِلْقْ : A Queer Arab Dichotomy

A film that revolves around the following questions: ‘Why are we expected to identify with a “queerness” that we had no power in creating? How can we speak the language of queerness when our languages, terms, expressions are trapped within and abbreviated into an international queer (English) language? How are we pressured into partaking in the norms of acceptable “queerness”? What are the costs of not fitting into these norms, and how can we counter this regulatory and disciplinary function of queerness at our current historical moment?’
