This programme frames the queer experience through the unstable textures of analogue film. Protest is etched into emulsion, longing flickers through light, and identity flickers, refracts, transforms. Here, the medium becomes the message.

From documentary portraits of a centenarian DJ to fragmented collages where bodies dissolve into abstract photograms, from the vivid contradictions of a Seattle Pride parade captured on grainy Super 8 to 16mm direct animation made with testosterone gel packets, these works wield celluloid as resistance and living archive.
