CONTENT WARNING:

Past and present collide when an Iranian American trans man time-travels through the LGBTQ+ archive on a dizzying and erotic quest to unravel his own sexual desires. Rendered in hybrid documentary and stylized dramatizations, DESIRE LINES is a provocative exploration of evolving trans sexuality and identity directed by Jules Rosskam (Paternal Rites, Against a Trans Narrative) and featuring Theo Germaine and Aden Hakimi.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Ahmad is a trans man reconciling his gender and sexual identities. Looking for answers he delves into the LGBTQ+ archives, which starts a time-traveling adventure through cruising history that includes real archival footage and contemporary oral histories from transmen across North America.

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.
