IraQueer
IraQueer (Established in 2015) is Iraq’s first and only LGBT+ led organisation. All projects are implemented inside Iraq except for its international advocacy, which it undertakes in concert with state mechanisms and the United Nations. IraQueer has produced a series of animated videos highlighting the misconceptions around being LGBT+ in Iraq. These misconceptions label LGBT+ Iraqis as mentally ill, sinners, and outsiders to Iraqi society. IraQueer has produced these videos in local dialects, to highlight the fact that LGBT+ people are no different than anyone else in these societies.
Bophana Audiovisual Resource Center
The Bophana Center (Established 2006 in Cambodia) acquires film, television, photography and sound archives on Cambodia from all around the world and gives free public access to this precious heritage. For Cambodians, it opens the door to large swathes of memory. From the very beginning, the Bophana Center’s main objective has been to offer young Cambodians vocational training as well as professional support. Thus, archivists, film and audiovisual technicians as well as young filmmakers have been trained at the Bophana Center.
