The 20th celebration of queer cinema at AAFF spotlights contemporary experimental films with LGBTQ+ themes, and features a future and place where trans people are safe, news reporters infuriated by protestors, a lonely housewife, a military robot, a conscientious ghost, drag races down at the airport, the ability to teleport, and reconstruction of a lover’s memory.

Set during the robot-human war, a military robot—Mother—begins to self-express by dressing in human drag and performing to a robot army. The short film follows Mother, stationed in an underground bunker, as she prepares, performs, and reflects on her individuality.
