"I think it's incredibly important to gain visibility, to make it so that we can be seen." Altered Innocence has released an official US trailer for a documentary titled Queer Japan, exploring the LGBTQ+ culture in contemporary Japan. The film is a vibrant profile of various people in Japan living brazenly unconventional lives in the sunlight, shadows, and everywhere in between. Japan is still a very conservative society, but of course there are people pushing back and letting loose and being free. "Get to know a vibrant and inspiring group of human beings in a country with a unique history of queer expression." Featuring: Vivienne Sato, Gengoroh Tagame, Atsushi Matsuda, Nogi Sumiko, Hiroshi Hasegawa, Akira the Hustler, Tomato Hatakeno. This premiered at the Rainbow Reel Tokyo & Outfest Film Festivals last year, and will be available to watch virtually in December. Looks like a vibrant, proud, and jubilantly enjoyable film. That final shot is amusing.
