電影簡介：

中國性別平權運動者秋白在20多歲的時候因披露恐同的大學教科書而意外成名。然而，她也為「名聲」付出了代價：被出櫃、被父母帶去醫院接受治療，並受到了來自官方的壓力。為了逃避這些壓力，秋白前往英國，並在這裡邂逅了她的伴侶 Bling。然而，她的抗爭並未就此結束。陳姍姍的紀錄片「愛的牽絆（Love Bound）」講述了秋白對自身性取向和親密關係的反思，並記錄她在英國建立起支持東亞酷兒的社群所做的努力：從一人獨自，到逐漸發展為有越來越多支持者的社會運動。

導演簡介：

陳姍姍是一位來自中國、現居倫敦的製片人和導演，從事紀錄片拍攝十餘年。她擅長採集並講述世界各地鮮為主流媒體關注的故事，以社會議題為重點，探索多元的敘事。她希望透過深度敘事的紀錄片推動人們對一些主題的討論和觀念轉變。

Film synopsis:

LGBTQ+ activist Qiuyan Chen became an unexpected celebrity due to her courageous legal battle against homophobic university textbooks in the 2010s. However, this newfound fame came at a price: she was outed by her tutor, subjected to conversion therapy by her parents, and monitored by the Chinese government. To escape these pressures, Qiuyan left for the UK, where she met her partner Bling – but her struggles were far from over.

Interweaving reflections on Qiuyan’s sexuality and relationships, Shanshan Chen’s documentary Love Bound examines this inspiring activist’s commitment to building a close-knit community designed to support queer East Asian people in the UK – a solo endeavour that evolves into a movement with a growing support base.

Director bio:

Shanshan Chen is a London-based documentary filmmaker originally from China.
