原定10月30日举行的“北京爱酷电影周”(前身为北京酷儿影展)于10月29日发布声明宣布突然取消1。据《卫报》报道,主办方在举办前数周不断遭到警方致电施压1。该影展由崔子恩与杨洋等人于2001年发起,是中国唯一聚焦LGBT议题的独立电影节,拥有25年历史1。
同一天,武汉柏林电影周也宣布紧急延期活动1。其学术观摩专题板块延后,所有订单予以全额退款,但未说明具体原因1。针对上述事件,人权观察亚洲部副主任王松莲指出公民社会空间已所剩无几1。圣安德鲁斯大学教授包宏伟表示,此举将对酷儿社群造成寒蝉效应1。
The "Beijing Love and Sex Film Week," previously known as the Beijing Queer Film Festival, abruptly cancelled its scheduled opening on October 30 following a statement issued by organizers on October 29 1. This cancellation marks the end of the festival's 25-year history as China's sole independent film event dedicated to LGBT issues 1. Reports indicate that the decision was driven by sustained pressure from Chinese police, who reportedly contacted the organizers repeatedly in the weeks leading up to the event, according to coverage by The Guardian 1.
On the same day, the Wuhan Berlin Film Week also announced an emergency postponement of its activities 1. The Wuhan event delayed its academic screening section and issued full refunds for all ticket orders without providing a specific explanation for the change 1. These simultaneous cancellations have drawn concern from human rights advocates and scholars regarding the shrinking space for civil society in China 1. Sophie Wang, Deputy Director for Asia at Human Rights Watch, stated that there is little remaining room for civic organizations to operate 1. Additionally, Hongwei Bao, a professor at the University of St Andrews, warned that such actions would create a chilling effect within the queer community 1.
