From
the depths of the underground emerge new films that defy standards of narrative
cinema and normative desires. From stunning 16mm to video performance, these
films deploy campy debauchery and sensual studies in light and texture to map
trajectories of the indeterminable, the transitional, and the liminal.  Placing queer bodies in front of the camera,
these films ruminate on representation in pop culture, state surveillance, and
memory, while also making claims to public space, fantasy, and legacy.
