To be Queer is to embark on a journey. Here, we explore the different narratives and stories Queer Asian individuals have to tell as they navigate moments of self-discovery, vulnerability, grief, love, and reflection. Join us as we embrace these moments of emergence, growth, and reunion, we'd love to have you along for the ride.

This program is dedicated to BIPOC resilience. We endure bias and turn it into beauty, pain into progress, slavery into strength, discrimination into dance, mistreatment into music and marches. Yet, after everything we’ve been through - we hold our crowns high; and still, we rise.

This year's experimental shorts program celebrates difference in all of its forms while asking in what ways these films are connected. Despite differences in time, place, style, and contexts, each of these films speak to each other in ways that produce a dynamic understanding of Queerness that push beyond our typical forms.
