Pierce – 刺心切骨 (Queer East)

In this tense, slow-burn thriller from director Nelicia Low, Zi-Jie is a young Taiwanese fencer who reconnects with his estranged older brother Zi-Han, who is released from juvenile prison after seven years.


Screening as part of Queer East On the Road 2025, a nationwide touring season taking place from October to December in 15 cities across the UK.


Queer East is a cross-disciplinary festival that showcases boundary-pushing LGBTQ+ cinema, live arts, and moving image work from East and Southeast Asia and its diaspora communities.
