'퀴어라마'는 영국 BFI국립아카이브에서 소장 중인 귀중한 자료를 모아 만든 작품으로, 지난 한 세기 동안 성 소수자가 경험해야 했던 온갖 박해와 처벌, 불평등, 사랑과 욕망뿐만 아니라 정체성에 대한 고민과 비밀 보장, 금지된 만남, 성적 해방, 게이 프라이드까지 매우 폭넓은 이야기를 다루고 있다. 존 그랜트와 골드프랩, 허큘리스 앤드 러브 어페어의 음악으로 구성된 사운드 트랙이 영상과 어우러져, 온갖 놀라운 변화로 가득했던 20세기 퀴어들의 인간관계와 욕망, 공포, 그리고 자기표현 속으로 관객을 초대한다.
Writer
In this funny and moving documentary, acclaimed film-maker Daisy Asquith tells the very personal story of her mother's conception after a dance in the 1940s on the remote west coast of Ireland. By exploring the repercussions of this act, Daisy and her mother embark on a fascinating and emotional adventure in social and sexual morality. Her grandmother, compelled to run away to have her baby in secret, handed the child over to 'the nuns'. Daisy's mum was eventually adopted by English Catholics from Stoke-on-Trent. Her grandmother returned to Ireland and told no-one. The father remained a mystery for another 60 years, until Daisy and her mum decided it was time to find out who he was. Their attempts to find the truth make raw the fear and shame that Catholicism has wrought on the Irish psyche for centuries. It leads Daisy and her mum to connect with a brand new family living an extraordinarily different life.

Documentary looking at a century of cycling. Commissioned to mark the arrival of the 2014 Tour de France in Yorkshire, the film makes full use of stunning British Film Institute footage to transport the audience on a journey from the invention of the modern bike, through the rise of recreational cycling, to gruelling competitive races. Award-winning director Daisy Asquith artfully combines the richly-diverse archive with a hypnotic soundtrack from cult composer Bill Nelson in a joyful, absorbing watch for both cycling and archive fans.
