Swingin'
When sixth-grader boy Qiu is bullied in school for having gay dads, his stepfather Howard, a flamboyant Jazz trumpet player, must confront his own nightmares of childhood bulling before he can provide his son a feeling of security. Swingin' is the first dramedy/music film of its kind since Taiwan became the first (and only as of today) country in Asia to legalize same-sex in 2019.
As Bold as Red, As Soft as Velvet
Gary is a young guy who identifies himself as asexual. He is preparing himself for a brand new day as usual.
Shimmer Summer
Ou Yuan hopes that his new friend Xu Duo can join him to watch the once-in-a-decade total solar eclipse. It’s not until Xu leaves that Ou Yuan realizes he isn’t necessarily intrigued by Xu herself but rather the character traits they share. As the eclipse occurred in time, Ou Yuan doesn‘t want to just be an audience of it
My Mother's Girlfriend
Renuka and Sadiya, two working-class women in love with each other, enjoy their day out celebrating Renuka's birthday.
Mutya
Mutya is an experimental short film that questions our understanding of physical, emotional, and psychological distance.
Between Us
