Queer storytelling refuses to stay in one lane. Moving from dance-pop fantasy and retro camp to espionage, zombies and chosen-family drama, these music videos and episodic stories turn up the volume on desire, resistance, survival and connection.

Sex becomes an escape through choreography, intimacy and performance in Knock Me Back. Jennifer Corday and Cathy DeBuono bring mid-century Palm Springs glamour to a playful anthem for women who have no interest in being “fixed.” In a post-apocalyptic New Orleans, Big Freedia and a fierce band of warriors defend the city’s vibrant music culture against gentrification and devastation. A closeted KGB spy working inside the U.S. State Department struggles to conceal his affair with his handler. A grieving father takes refuge in an old church and discovers another survivor across a zombie-filled street. And after a beloved queer counselor dies by suicide, his chosen family splinters under the weight of grief, anger and guilt.
