Time Capsule

These compelling short documentaries paint a picture of the ongoing challenges facing LGBTQ+ communities and society as a whole. In THE MOST HATEFUL SMALL TOWN, a gay filmmaker interviews officials, towns people, and even hate groups as he explores why Harrison, Arkansas is labeled as the most hateful town in America. RESHAPING BEAUTY: ROUND IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES celebrates bodies that do not conform to the classic ideal of beauty, while CHAKALMEX reveals the race/class power dynamics behind the idealization of the male form in young indigenous proletarian communities in Mexico. In MY MATTACHINE, a man searches for a connection in the images of Chicago’s south side in the 1970s/80s, and in THE GAY RUB: A DOCUMENTARY, a man collects and preserves images through rubbings from LGBTQ historical markers, tombstones, plaques, and monuments.
