Film Description:
Contract marriage is largely practiced by lesbians and gay men in today's
China, for the purpose of alleviating social and family pressures - the
pressures of conforming to traditional family structure, practices, and
expectations. They negotiate the terms and conditions of marriage and perform
weddings once they reach an agreement. Our Marriage is an exploration of the
lives of four lesbians who decided to marry gay men in order to secretly
pursue their relationships with their girlfriends, while at the same time
fulfilling their family’s deep-seated desire that their daughter get married
and form a family with her husband.
How do contract marriages work, how do people negotiate the terms of marriage
and how do they live lives as lesbians in contemporary Chinese culture? These
are the questions raised in the film, as the filmmakers followed four
lesbians for two years in a North East city of China, watched their weddings
with gay men, witnessed lives as lesbians and filial daughters.
After screening Q & A will be held with Filmmakers He Xiaopei (何小培) and
Yuan Yuan from Pink Space Research Centre (粉色空间性文化发展中心), Beijing
This event is co-sponsored by Q-WAVE and the Institute of Tongzhi Studies.
形式婚姻在中国是一个相当具在地特色的现象，根据报导，在强大的结婚压力下，中国的
同性恋族群，以年龄为界，六十后大多步入异性婚姻，七十后、八十后则发展出形式婚姻
和四人婚姻，形式婚姻在中国的规模之大，由中国形式婚姻网注册会员达三十多万这件事
实当中可见一斑。张北川教授认为这是身处变革时代的同性恋者对保守文化的无奈抗争，
具有相当程度的积极意义。
这次来访的北京粉色空间性文化发展中心在中国也是一个相当具有特色的组织，同样是关
怀性少数族群，粉色空间的工作不侷限在同志社群，而是更全面地为各种性受压迫者创造
享受性愉悦、争取性权利的条件与空间，他们是最早关注中国同妻(男同性恋者的妻子)社
群的民间组织之一，2009年在山东召开中国首届同妻会，有来自山东、辽宁、南京、陕西
