Viet Film Fest is proud to have accepted several films from LGBTQIA+ filmmakers for the 2021 iteration of VFF. This set contains films made by queer directors that deal directly with queer storylines and subjects, oftentimes blurring the boundaries of genres and in the process. In their own ways, each film is daring - through narrative, aesthetic, and thematic means - in how personal these stories all are.
CONFLUENCE is a meditation on ancestry and identity through the diasporic lens of Asian American and queer experiences filmed during moonroom's 2019 PHASE, a showcase series celebrating Asian Pacific Islander and Desi American Heritage Month with underground events throughout Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The documentary short eschews Western aesthetic formalism in favor of a more fluid oral, visual, and sonic experience as a means to subvert the oppressive linearity of colonialism and momentarily alleviate colonial trauma with calming, subconscious expression.
