About this event
This screening works to facilitate community dialogue around undiscussed or misunderstood topics central to the Black queer experience, exploring self-identity, dating, housing justice and body image.
BODY LANGUAGE (Odu Adamu)
BODY LANGUAGE is a candid conversation about body image and body experience for Black gay, queer, and same gender loving men. Men share their personal journeys through childhood, coming into the gay community, and acceptance and rejection based on body type. BODY LANGUAGE is an authentic dialogue about pain, heartache, healing, and self-love. This film speaks directly to Black g/q/SGL men but the ideas around body perfection, and what influences our perspectives, are universal.
Running time: 10 minutes
I IDENTIFY AS ME (Monick Monell and Tina Colleen)
I Identify as Me" is a chorus of Trans non-binary people and masculine-presenting women who are QTBIPoC. Their stories allow us to reflect on the truth that gender is infinite; honoring this brings us a step closer to liberating ourselves from damaging social constructs. This short previews the "I Identify as Me" doc series.
Running time: 12 minutes
MY FTM JOURNEY (Payton Royce)
MY FTM JOURNEY is an intimate look at the beginning of Payton Royce’s female to male transition. Through interviews and self-recorded testimonials, Royce shares his thoughts and feelings about the early stages of his new life. MY FTM JOURNEY is a rich, raw experience that exposes the viewer to Payton’s real world.
Running time: 12 minutes
