Abstract [en]

Queer film has always existed outside national frameworks, it has always crossed borders and has been circulated internationally and locally, in kinship networks. How does queer film circulate today locally, beyond Netflix or international film festivals? SAQMI – The Swedish Archive for Queer Moving Images, founded in 2017 by artist and curator Anna Linder, offers a useful example to think about ways of navigating local spaces/places and transnational audiovisual heritage. SAQMI is a platform for queer moving images that combines IRL events on location with digitized content available worldwide online. Highlighting experimental filmmaking, it employs documentation, interviews, archiving, screenings, presentations, workshops, and discussions. As memory studies have taught us, storage alone is not memory. Memory requires circulation, and histories, narratives, and heritage are always re-constituted in the process of reception. This makes SAQMI an interesting case, as it is a living archive, dedicating itself to the (re-)circulation of queer moving images from various decades. Its curatorial practice excavates layers of queer history and situates them in a specific space, unveiling different temporalities. This talk will present the curatorial practice of SAQMI and its (dis)located memory work.
