Wicked Queer 39

Queer identity revels in instability, fluidity, conflict, and difference. Across time and space, the ways in which we identify and exist are influenced by places, people, images, and ideas that we encounter. This program of experimental shorts highlights the sometimes messy, yet always productive, ways in which Queers are constantly forging new identities, and how these identities are often informed on past, present, and future concepts of self.

Gods of the Supermarket
"In times of the body positivity movement, this film pays tribute to the male body with which the director has a love-hate relationship. Both obsessed and frustrated by it, this ideal body represents an unreachable fantasy."
