Baby Gays - Shorts Program

Growing up is hard, growing up queer is harder. Whether it’s searching AM I GAY QUIZ on the family computer, getting shipped off to family, or having a mysterious (and quite fabulous?) fox to teach you to walk in heels, these shorts have been there. When Naza recreates her crush in a new app, her realities begin to mix in MY PERSONAL U. Sngidha Kapoor’s touching short film watches 11-year-old Radha struggle as her family attempts to dispel an ancestral curse placed upon her in HOLY CURSE. QUEER AND LONGING explores fantasy and dreams as we explore the could-be, would-be of queer love. On their rural Queensland farm, 14-year-old Sam wrestles with a crush on Matt, his sister Bianca’s boyfriend in WILD DOG. LUCIA & NICOLE explores the reality of homelessness for queer youth as Lucia finds out her childhood best friend, Nicole, is living on the streets. Jamie Simiele’s short film PANSIES looks at a young queer relationship in the closet as Caleb and Logan are nearly caught in their secret affair. Sam’s search for identity gets interrupted by a mysterious neighborhood fox, and together they must embark on a magical journey to the attic to find it in DRAGFOX.
