Wicked Queer 32
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.

Health Class
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.
