Vidshow Discussion Post: Be Gay, Do Crimes

[cosmic_llin]

 Welcome to the discussion post for the Be Gay, Do Crimes vidshow, curated by Cleo!

(This is a new thing we’re trying - we love talking about the vidshows at the con itself, but we think there’s scope for further discussion here on Dreamwidth, where folks who weren’t able to attend the con can get involved too. Anyone who’s interested is welcome to watch the show and join in! We’ll be running these posts roughly once a month, initially featuring shows from VidUKon 2019.)

This show is available to stream on our site in its entirety - scroll down this page and click on the show title to see the vids alongside their descriptions.

There were so many excellent vidshows this year, as always, but I THINK this one might be my favourite? Cleo did such a great job at making it really tightly on-theme: all of these are so very explicitly about queerness and the ways that queer politics means radicalism on different axes, in different ways.

...and also hot people doing crime, sure. :D

Plus it has some CRACKING vids! Believer is just one of my favourite vids in a while (and did I rec it for the show Cleo? I think I did? if so I am super proud of... myself, lol) but there really isn't a vid here that's anything other than superlative. I love that it goes from hilarious (Happy Working Song) to cute queer rule-breaking love (4Ever), to constructed reality (Seven Nation Army) and heartbreaking (Our Version of Events, which I definitely cannot watch it without crying).
