I Will Haunt You Forever: Queer Ghosts Across Time is composed of moving-image work and archival films that examine queer spectrality. Ghosts are already queer, existing beyond any binary divisions: ghosts are something we fear, yet we are attracted to. Ghosts transgress boundaries, existing between life and death, fear and grief, in the suspension of time. Haunting and its paths can’t help but speak to the way queer people in the past have been ghosts, haunting the histories they’ve been written out of.

The programme considers multiple interpretations of ghostliness by queer filmmakers – from bringing back the ghosts of the archive in Ghost Carnival, to All Trace is Gone, No Clamour for a Kiss and Whispering Ghosts which examine the colonial ghosts lingering in our present.

The films will be followed by a conversation with the curator and filmmakers.
