</u><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">) invites
proposals from film and documentary creatives to create a
documentary film about the so-called
</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span>
'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;"> politics
& mobilisations, and queer-feminist resistances to it.
The aim of the documentary film is to raise awareness and
understanding of transphobia, homophobia, anti-feminism,
anti-LGBTQIA+, anti-abortion, racism, xenophobia, and
other issues related to
</span></b><b><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span></b>'<b><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
mobilisations, drawing from the research findings
generated by the RESIST project (some details about the
project can be found </span></b><b><u><span
style="color: rgb(70, 120, 134); font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">here</span></u></b><b><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">).
</span></b></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">The
filmmaking team will work closely with the RESIST research
team to develop the concept and to ground the film in the
research insight, but will have artistic freedom in its
execution. We are open to a range of documentary genres
(essay/expository; docufiction; poetic, etc.) and we welcome
creative and imaginative approaches. The documentary film,
while forming one of the RESIST Project outputs, will not be
documenting the research activities of the project itself.
It is expected to be a fully independent product, stand on
its own, be a creative endeavour that independently
expresses artistic ideas of its creators, whilst
communicating the project</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">s
theoretical values, collaborative ethos, and research
findings to inform public debate on these issues. Key to the
project are intersectionality and a transnational (rather
than comparative) analysis. Rather than essentialise
particular locations (i.e. '</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">Eastern
Europe</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">)
as the site of '</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
phenomena, we want to generate engagement with broad,
diverse publics, and to empower and inform audiences about
the complexities of
</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
politics across Europe.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">The
contracted team will be expected to manage and deliver the
documentary film within a budget of up to €50,000 (inclusive
of salaries, equipment, production and post-production
costs, marketing and festival submission fees, other
dissemination costs, as well as any travel costs and
incidental expenses incurred).

<div><u style=""><b><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">About the
project</span></b></u>
</div>
<div><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">The
RESIST project addresses
</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
politics that imperil equality, gender and sexual diversity,
and legitimacy of critical knowledge in contemporary Europe.
We understand </span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
politics to be multiple and manifesting differently in
diverse national contexts across Southern, Eastern, and
Western Europe. They are present across the political
spectrum of centrist, left</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
and right</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">wing
orientations, spanning from illiberal and authoritarian
regimes to those considered liberal and democratic. Inspired
by intersectional perspectives, we understand
</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
politics to be multifaceted as they limit gendered freedoms,
challenge trans* inclusion, question multiculturalism and
gender and sexual equality. </span></div>
<div><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">While
they undermine critical studies of race and academic
freedoms,
</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
politics result in dangerous consequences for freedoms of
speech and press, reproductive justice, sexual and gender
diversity, and self-determination. Crucial to our project is
to learn about the feminist and queer practices of
resistance against
</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
politics, how they function and are theorised in autonomous,
grassroots collectives and organisations in our 8 country
cases: Ireland, Spain, Belarus, France, Switzerland, Poland,
Germany, Greece, and in one transnational case of people
living in exile due to
</span><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">anti-gender</span>'<span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">
politics.
</span></div>
<div><span
style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 11pt;">RESIST
is composed of queer feminist researchers who seek to
collaborate in this ethos with other teams. You will find
more information about our project and the people involved
