Viewer's Guide: "The Uninhabitable Ones" contains flashing lights.
Here is a 90-minute collection of queer shorts from around the world.
MY FAMILY: In this Southeast Asian dark dramedy, a young man is bleeding out slowly in the bathroom. Oblivious to his latest suicide attempt, his bickering family members line up for their turn outside. This is clearly an excellent time for his parents to begin openly questioning his sexuality.
MY OWN: My Own tells the story of Bianca, a nonbinary person, struggling to find the place for gender fluidity within the rigid world of ballet. Bianca finds their own voice, in this dance-filled rumination on coming out, not as one thing or another, but as something in between.
THINE OWN SELF: Through animated visuals in combination with music, this experimental short film represents a resistance to hegemonic constructions of gender, expressing a desire for collective liberation from restrictive classifications that govern identity.
STORIES UNDER THE RAINBOW: Stories Under The Rainbow will explore questions through the lives of LGBTQ individuals living in small towns in Mississippi that is often hilarious and heartbreaking.
HUGO: 6:30PM: Hugo, a young actor is asked to improvise narrating a story where he’s the actor and director at an audition. He unfolds a tale that explores sex, disease and self-emancipation.
COMPOSITIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS: Compositions is an experimental, animated "love letter".
LIMINAL: Steve lives both his past and present concurrently. As time is compressed and he flows through spirals of love and sexuality, Steve finds himself in a transition; stuck between a family life built on half measures and a desire for a more authentic experience.
THE UNINHABITABLE ONES: A Brazilian contemporary dance company is about to debut The Uninhabitable Ones (Inabitáveis), its newest performance that addresses black homosexuality as its theme. Running parallel to the rehearsals, the choreographer builds a friendship with Pedro, a black boy who doesn't identify as a boy. A poetic wildness of transgressive queers, of impressionist colors, of bodies that celebrate their black and latinx existences.
