DOCUMENT OUR HISTORY NOW

Document Our History Now supports documentary makers, photographers, documentalists and journalists in Southeast Asia in their efforts to tell stories and document Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender communities, individuals and events, along with their history and what they are striving for.

NEWS

Iron Legs is a documentary about a lesbian women’s soccer team in Cambodia. We did show the first cut on a well attended DOHN event on 17 June. Filmmaker Vanna Hem was present for an interesting Q&A with the 65 people of the audience. This event is a co-production with International Homo/Lesbian Information center and Archive (IHLIA).

OUR VISION

Change begins when LGBT people are heard, when they leave a trail. That is why we want to help to tell stories, to mark important events and to record the histories of individual people and communities. We want to give LGBTs a face and a voice: let them show and tell about their situation and their history, their joys and their needs. Read more

NEW IDEA

ON THE ROAD: SPONSOR OUR NEW DOCUMENTARY FROM VIETNAM

Two friends Huy and Nam – one gay, one straight – jump on their motorcycle with a rainbow flag and drive all the way from Hanoi (North) to HoChiMinCity (South). Along the road they interview numerous people about SOGI issues (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity). The footage is shot already. We look for a budget of EUR 2000 for the final editing/sound etc. See trailer: https://vimeo.com/222561701.
