Through the power of film, **QE: Docs4Pride**, which launches on **Friday, July 3** and is part of the **Queer East Film Festival**, will aim to uplift and amplify the voices of those marginalised in the LGBTQ+ community with four carefully selected films, which feature compelling stories of resistance, the fight for civil rights, legal protection and the LGBTQ+ liberation movement in respective countries.

The documentaries, which focus on queer activism, challenging norms, and the history of LGBTQ+ movements in China, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines, are *Out Run* (US, Philippines), *Shanghai Queer* (China), *Taipeilove\** (Germany, Taiwan) and *Of Love and Law* (Japan, UK, France).

All films are available to watch worldwide, except *Of Love & Law* which is UK and Ireland only. Each title will be available to stream for a week for free at Queer East’s [website](https://queereast.org.uk/?ref=scenemag.co.uk) and [Vimeo channel](https://vimeo.com/queereast?ref=scenemag.co.uk).

**Yi Wang**, Director of Queer East, said: ‘*Global events this year are a strong reminder of the importance activism and reflection play in progressing human rights. Everyone has a role in constructing a more diverse and equitable world and pride season is a time for the LGBTQ+ community to look closely and address existing challenges in the queer landscape.*

*‘The QE: Docs4Pride series aims to amplify the otherwise unheard voices of people of colour in the LGBTQ+ community and facilitate constructive conversations about the intersectionality of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and nationality.*

*‘The virus has kept us apart, but through digital spaces, we hope these four documentaries can unlock the collaborative strength of queer community and take action against inequalities.’*

QE: Docs4Pride is the second virtual film series from Queer East Film Festival, which has had to postpone screenings following Covid-19 restrictions. The previous **QE: HomeSexual Edition** received donations from nearly 400 supporters to support the temporarily closed independent cinemas due to host screenings.

QE: Docs4Pride is part of **Film Feels Connected**, a UK-wide cinema season supported by the National Lottery and BFI Film Audience Network.
