Philip Jones (US, 2014, 62min) GAMING IN COLOR is a feature documentary exploring the story of the queer gaming community, “gaymer” culture and events, and the rise of LGBTQ themes in video games. A lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or otherwise queer gamer has a higher chance of being mistreated in an online social game. Diverse queer themes in storylines and characters are still mostly an anomaly in the mainstream video game industry. Gaming in Color explores how the community culture is shifting and the industry is diversifying, helping with queer visibility and acceptance of an LGBTQ presence. Showing with Short: OUT SMART (Dawn Cobalt, US, 2013) A teenage boy faces his parents' shock, disappointment, anger, and humiliation when he “comes out.”
