Our 2025 Shorts Programs are made possible through the generosity of long-time ImageOut supporters David D. Emert and Jon P. Templin.
Our lived experiences are the stories unfurling the collective co-creation of history. Short Docs highlights stories from around the world that explore points of intersection where individual lives meet the reality of the political present. Each story offers a unique understanding of our past and a wishful intention for our future. The films in this series encourage us to open our hearts and minds to the connection between story and community. Grab a friend and some popcorn, in the theater or at home, and enjoy these short documentaries.
In the United States, book banning has increased at an alarming rate. This project follows activists on the frontlines of the battle against book bans, exploring the complex fight between censorship and free speech.
Pages of Protest critically examines the history of book banning in the U.S., exploring how politics, religion, and shifting cultural battles shape information control and ideas. Our documentary follows the life of a young, queer, black student activist, Da'Taeveyon Daniels, who is fighting the Texas legislature and radical political groups who aim to ban books that represent BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals.
