CONTENT WARNING:
Desire Will Set You Free is a feature film that explores life in contemporary Berlin with an often critical and sometimes humorous eye. Based on a true story, the plot follows the relationship of an American writer of Israeli/Palestinian descent and a Russian aspiring artist working as a hustler, offering access to the city’s vibrant queer and underground scenes while examining the differences between expatriate and refugee life. Our characters travel through Berlin’s layered history and unique subcultural landscape; on their adventures they discover influences and remnants of the Weimar Republic, WWII, the Bowie years, and punk.
This film is presented in German with English subtitles.

Health Class

CONTENT WARNING:
Growing up gay, Trevor feels he’s had a significant lack of sexual education, and so, he’s brought his high school health teacher, Keith, back to class to ask him a few pressing questions. The lesson begins in a strange and surreal classroom where anatomical diagrams come to life, as both men receive a vivid re-education.

Unfolding Beauty

Harvard Law School Wasserstein Hall
in person
A genderqueer ugly duckling emerges from the shell of oppression and heartbreak into a sparkling fairytale ​SWANICORN full of hope. It’s back to basics in ​SEXUALITY 101: ​IDENTITY as two young women insolently define their own labels. The magnetic moments of ​BEING SEEN BEING HOME fully affirm a fat femme as the heavenly body that she is. A young woman courageously embraces her perceived flaws ​IN HER EYES. The poetic affirmation of ​#BLACKWOMENSLIVESMATTER shows us how to transform systemic devaluation. An offering under the ​SUNGAZE sparks renewal and growth. A queer Black man on a spiritual journey discovers his path to being ​PROUD & FAITHFUL. ​AU-KNAPPTURAL embraces the beauty that is bald heads and Black hair. A new ​HER/CUT leads to an awkward encounter between old friends. A young queer Asian-American writes ​A LETTER TO MY FATHER within the space of their family restaurant. ​MAMITIS makes a long journey home after years as an immigrant. A bisexual transgender Asian woman celebrates ​JASMINE’S JUBILEE and life’s triumphs. Based on the Samoan word for love ​HIS VISION: PROJECT ALOFA embraces all without judgement. For a trio of queer friends, the expansive magnitude of ​FINDING EACH OTHER draws them into activist community. An Afro-Latina queer couple explores ​DE COLORES, OUR LIVES at the intersection of cultural, sexual and racial identity.
