(English follows.) 该片由广州中山大学比较文学及世界文学教研室制作，记录了2005年7月7日-9日在曼谷召开的“亚洲首届性、性别与权利国际研讨会”。来自全世界22个大学、研究机构、NGO组织和酷儿群体的500多名学者、社会工作者和行动者出席。大会组织者在两种意义上采用“酷儿”一词：一是对所有同性恋、跨性别、变性等性别多样性行为、身份和文化的称呼，二是描述一种汲取了后结构主义和后殖民主义分析而发展起来的批判性理论。 在大会讨论及其出版物中，亚太酷儿网络强调，需要在亚洲语境中重新思考酷儿理论，同时对亚洲的恐同话语和实践展开批判，并挑战欧洲和西方中心主义对性和社会性别的阐述。会议共收到165篇学术论文，其共同主题是争取人权与研究自由。在这一主旨下，大会发言和小组讨论主题包括性健康与性教育、 文化再现、美学和媒体、亚洲语境中的酷儿理论、女性主义和文化研究。与会者还讨论了社群能力建设问题，包括如何与政策制定者以及媒体就酷儿议题展开交流。 影片包括对大会过程的记录和解说、对与会者的采访，以及对泰国彩虹天空协会主席Viroj Tangvanich的专访。 创作者简介： 艾晓明（1953— ），女权学者、写作者、纪录片工作者。1987年底，艾晓明获得北京师范大学中文系中国现代文学专业博士学位，是文革后第一位文学女博士。她于1988年至1994年任教于中国青年政治学院文化基础部；1994年起任教于中山大学中文系并于2013年正式退休。 作为黑五类子女，艾晓明亲身经历并见证了文革的残酷。她的外公唐生智是国民党陆军上将，父亲艾仁宽在文革时曾被打成右派，当时年仅13岁的艾晓明不得已贴大字报批斗自己的父亲，并被迫与父母分开生活。 作为女权学者，她关注公共事务，持续参与社会倡导。2003年，她创办中山大学性别教育论坛，带领学生排演美国女性主义话剧《阴道独白》；同年介入“孙志刚案”，推动废止收容遣送制度；后又介入 “黄静案”“太石村”等公共事件。纪录片导演胡杰曾协助艾晓明拍摄《阴道独白》，艾晓明在这个过程中接触到纪录片，自此开始拿起摄像机，拍摄了多部记录中国公民维权运动的作品，包括关于2005年广东番禺罢免村官事件的《太石村》，关于2008年四川地震的《我们的娃娃》，关于2010年乌坎事件的《乌坎三日》，还有近年完成的《夹边沟祭事》等。2010年1月，艾晓明与专注性别平等的公益律师郭建梅共同获得表彰女性自由的国际人权奖项西蒙·德·波伏娃奖。 因其倡导行动，艾晓明面临各种打压，但依旧持续抗争至今，记录真实的历史。 This film was produced by the Department of Comparative Literature and World Literature at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, documenting the first Asian International Conference on Sex, Gender, and Rights, held in Bangkok, Thailand, from July 7-9, 2005. More than 500 scholars, social workers, and activist advocates from 22 universities, research institutions, NGOs, and queer communities worldwide attended the event. The organizers of the conference used the term "queer" in two senses: as an abbreviation for all behaviors, identities, and cultures related to homosexuality, transgenderism, and gender diversity, and also as a critical term describing queer theory, which emerged from poststructuralist and postcolonial analysis. During the conference and in the publications, the Asia-Pacific Queer Network emphasized the need to rethink queer theory within the Asian context, critiquing homophobic discourses and practices in Asia, while also questioning the European and Western-centric narratives of sexuality and gender. The conference received 165 academic papers, with a common call for human rights and academic freedom. Under this theme, the presentations and panel discussions included topics such as sexual health and education, cultural representation, aesthetics and media, queer theory in the Asian context, feminism, and cultural studies. Participants also discussed issues of community capacity-building, including how to engage with policymakers and the media on queer issues. The film includes records and interpretations of the conference, along with interviews with participants. A special interview was conducted with Viroj Tangvanich, the president of the Thai Rainbow Sky Association. About the Creator: Ai Xiaoming (1953— ), feminist scholar, writer, and documentary filmmaker. Ai Xiaoming received her Ph.D. in Modern Chinese Literature from the Beijing Normal University in 1987, making her the first female doctorate in literature in the post-Cultural Revolution era. She taught at the Department of Cultural Foundations of the China Youth University of Political Studies from 1988 to 1994, and the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of Sun Yat-sen University from 1994 until retiring in 2013. In 2003, she founded the Sex/Gender Education Forum at Sun Yat-sen University, and directed the American feminist play The Vagina Monologues with her students; in the same year, she intervened in the Sun Zhigang case to push for the abolition of the Custody and Repatriation system; she later intervened in the Huang Jing case, the Taishi Village case and other public events. Ai encountered documentary films through the Nanjing-based filmmaker Hu Jie, who filmed her students' performance of The Vagina Monologues. She worked with him on the film and began to shoot her own films documenting Chinese citizens’ rights protection struggles, including Taishi Village (following the famous events when villagers of Taishi, in suburban Guangzhou, tried to remove the local officials in 2005), Our Children (about the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake), Three Days in Wukan (about Wukan villagers protests against the government’s seizure of their farmland in 2010), and Jiabiangou Elegy (about the persecution of inmates at the Jiabiangou labor camp). In January 2010, Ai and women rights lawyer Guo Jianmei were awarded the Simone de Beauvoir Prize, an international human rights award honoring women rights defenders. Due to her advocacy, Ai has faced various forms of repression, but continues to fight to this day to document history.
