New Queer Visions: The 36th Parallel (FREE)
Running Time: 124′
Is being true to yourself crossing a line? From Karachi to Tehran, Baghdad to Istanbul, one line connects these stories exploring the borders that bisect reality and desire, identity and geopolitics. For many of these films and their makers, their existence alone is transgressive. These are essential stories for testing times.
Please be advised that this programme contains scenes of a sensitive nature.
