curator statement:
The films in this section explore identity, sexuality, and gender across diverse stories, narratives, and places, finding and creating complex communities where we can be with each other. The concept of ‘Queer’ has multiple interpretations, and this is an approximation of the various meanings we can find for it.
These seven short films range from finding something more than sex in a hook up app to reimagining 19th-century portraits from the Levant Region. They portray love and sex within a trans community in the United States, a trans woman running a phone scam in Chile, a queer family facing eviction, a lesbian migrant love story in conservative Hungary, and a failed film rehearsal exploring queer identities in Korea.
In a world that is facing the rise of fascism once again, these films remind us of how we have resisted and will continue to do so.
