SUMMARY:Macho Dancer (18)
DESCRIPTION:Macho Dancer centres on Paul\\, who leaves his impoverished r
 ural village to work as a dancer\\, stripper\\, and rent boy in Manila’
 s red light district. While the film depicts sexual exploitation with sho
 cking frankness\\, it nonetheless finds some hope in the genuine camarade
 rie that develops between the performers offstage. Due to its hard conten
 t and uncompromising social critique\\, the film was heavily cut in the P
 hilippines\\, leading Brocka to smuggle out an uncensored copy to interna
 tional film festivals. Revisited after nearly four decades\\, the strikin
 gly erotic imagery on display in Macho Dancer forces us to consider our d
 esires\\, and complicity\\, as viewers. With introduction by Vee Dagger. 
 Screening as part of Queer East on Tour. Vee Dagger is a Taiwanese drag p
 erformer / DJ / film curator based in Leeds. Her work centres around the 
 gothic and the melodramatic with a special interest in the gruesome. She 
 has worked with Queer East\\, Transform Leeds\\, Leeds Art Gallery\\, Ope
 ra North and assorted others. Please talk to her about vampires.\\nhttps:
