Queer as Punk directed by Yihwen Chen, is a defiant and intimate documentary set in Malaysia, where LGBTQ+ identities navigate significant legal and social constraints. At its center is Faris, a trans man and frontman of a fiercely independent punk band that refuses to stay silent. As they tour perform in underground venues, and use music as protest, the band transforms stages into spaces of resistance and visibility. Amid societal presure and personal risk their journey highlights resilience, chosen family, and the raw power of artistic expression. Fueled by the unapologetic spirit of punk the film captures how community, music, and courage become acts of rebellion in environments determined to suppress them.
