Spectra Presents: Queerkamp, a film by Chris Westendorp and Lucas van der Rhee
📅 Wednesday 12 November
🕖 7.00pm
📍 UCL East Community Cinema – One Pool Street
Sensitive and deeply observational, Queerkamp offers an intimate glimpse into the world of a queer youth summer camp, where young people spend a week among peers who share similar experiences and questions of identity. With tenderness and courage, the film captures moments of vulnerability, joy and self-discovery as the participants begin to embrace who they are, often for the first time.
Through its gentle, empathetic lens, Queerkamp reveals the quiet strength and resilience that emerge in this safe space, celebrating the transformative power of queer community.

Queerkamp will be preceded by the short film A film, My Body by one of our recent UCL East alumni Maar Dinu. This deeply personal film blends digital and analogue techniques, exploring the relationship between the human body and the film’s body, both undergoing processes of transformation to reach their final form. As the film develops, scratches, and reassembles itself, it mirrors the body’s own processes of change, healing, and self-definition.
⚠️ Please note: A Film, My Body contains graphic imagery of body modification performance art.
If you prefer to skip the film please arrive for 7.30pm.
