Here is a 97-minute collection of LGBTQIA+ shorts from around the world.

OURSELVES, IN STORIES: In the last 25 years, the independent comics community made deliberate efforts to be inclusive and elevate under-represented voices. This is the story of how the community has changed over those years and evidence that if you want to change a culture, you need to change its stories, starting with the storytellers.

CHRISTIAN IN THE CLOSET: The uber-awkward Christian leads a double life, avoiding the confrontation of coming out as gay to his father (A Christian Pastor) or telling his atheist best friend and new lover about his faith. It's not until the romantic advances of Erin -- a female parishioner -- forces Christians two worlds on a collision course.

EVE: Eve is a comedy drama of a young woman who has just gotten married to her long-term boyfriend and now has doubts. She acknowledges she has been repressing her sexual attraction for women for some time, but that these feelings are genuine. Especially relevant at this moment, after kissing the groom’s sister, Olivia, an out-and-confident lesbian, at the hen party the night before.

OTHERWISE: When a couple breaks up, they no longer recognize each other.

KAPAEMAHU: Kapaemahu reveals the healing power of four mysterious stones on Waikiki Beach – and the legendary dual male and female spirits within them. Long ago, four extraordinary individuals of both male and female spirit brought the healing arts from Tahiti to Hawaii. Beloved by the people for their gentle ways and miraculous cures, they imbued four giant boulders with their powers. The stones still stand on what is now Waikiki Beach, but the true story behind them has been hidden – until now.

3057: During Melbourne's Stage 4 Covid-19 lockdown, housemates Colin and Rosie pass the time people-watching on their front lawn. Between games of 'smash or pass' and critiquing the outfits of passerby's, the duo engage in candid conversations about Queer authenticity and the importance of community.

TOTAL CATCH: Dating is hard... Zoom dating is harder.

ALMOST A YEAR: As the coronavirus pandemic progresses, the overlapping routines of three New Yorkers change unexpectedly.

THE QUEEN'S HEART: A glance through LGBTQ+ history through the mirrors of a Drag Queen - a story of love, loss and chosen family.
