UQCF: let’s dive into queer clublife (film + talk)

Utrecht Queer Culture Festival is back! In this special, we discuss the challenges and triumphs of Utrecht queer night life.

Let’s get one thing straight: the clubscene is bound to queerness and community. And there is a lot to say about the queer clubscene in Utrecht. So let’s talk about it!

Together we watch the film ‘De Trut: 10 portretten’ by dutch director Pim Mookhoek. A new documentary about the legendary queer club De Trut in Amsterdam. From De Trut’s role during the AIDS epidemic to its current significance as an inclusive and safe dance floor in a changing society, the film shows how a Sunday-night party grew into an enduring cultural and activist force.

After the screening, we’ll focus on the queer clubscene in Utrecht. What does the contemporary scene look like? What do we, the community, miss? What do we need, and crave for? How do we make that happen? And what can we learn from successful initiatives like De Trut?

The night will be hosted by Dave Coenen
