About

Riots and Popcorn is a DYI , radical and queer film festival in Göteborg ,Sweden.

Story

Riots and popcorn film festival , is a DIY radical and queer film festival .
Its aim is to promote low and zero budget movies made and/or about queers and radical left people .

We think that queer is about living life in a political way which
challenge gender normativity and power structures, but also that abolishing borders and fighting for migrants’ and workers’ rights are all part of one struggle.

For us, opposing capitalism with its inherent violent social inequalities is closely connected to the fight against transphobia, homophobia and sexism, as well as racism, and fascism , that why we decided to create a film festival linking the queer and the radical left movements.

Movies we would like to screen during the festival shall show all kind of genders, all kind of bodies, intersectionnal feminism , and honor people with health and mental health conditions.

Either politic or entertaining
either fun or dramatic
either short or longer
either recent or older

we will try to collect as much as fantastic movies as we can find from all around the world and create a festival whose first edition should take place in January 2018.

This first edition shall also be the moment to gather with those who would like to join into a collective to create bigger and better editions of the festival in the future .
