Keep it Short, Sweetie: Love Stories from Around the World Series
7:30pm
Asexy
Based on the real experiences of asexual and transgender writer-director Kylie Aoibheann, Asexy is a groundbreaking story of intimacy and desire which makes history as one of the very first short films by, for, and about "aces".
Next Gen Shorts
7:30pm
Ripe!
Nothing says "it's complicated" like breaking your crush's arm.
Political Shorts
7:30pm
Prism is a visually striking short experimental fiction film, following Miranda as she bursts from her beige cocoon and embraces her queer identity for the first time.
In a hyper-sexual world, there are very few movies exploring what it feels like to be on the asexual spectrum. Director Gina Hara sets out to create refreshingly unique asexual representation on the silver screen, while taking inspiration from movies by Maya Deren and Roy Andersson.
Short Documentary Series
7:30 PM
In the docu-short One Story at a Time, Celeste Lecesne candidly shares how he not only escaped the confines of homophobia but combatted it by finding the courage to share his truth with the world. In a seemingly fateful chain of events, an off-broadway solo-show becomes an Academy Award-winning film that ultimately inspires The Trevor Project, the largest suicide prevention lifeline for LGBTQIA+ youth. Now, 25 years later, countless lives have been saved, and Celeste stays the course, inspiring the next generation to have the bravery to claim their truth and continue to change the world, one story at a time
