Anything is possible when queer imagination is set in motion. Blending romance, comedy, memory and experimentation, these seven animated stories transform deeply personal experiences into vivid new worlds.


A dating-app encounter between a Palestinian man and an Israeli man in Jerusalem becomes a night of sex, conflict and unexpected danger. Lilith, the first woman created alongside Adam, meets Eve and sets out to shatter the stereotypes that have confined them both. Childhood diaries, prose and poetry reveal the inner world of a young genderqueer child. On the court of a prestigious tennis tournament, two ball girls discover that rivalry can become magnetic attraction. Analog film and digital animation evoke the rebellion, discovery and devastating loss of queer life in the 1980s. A young trans woman finds friendship and community during the uncertain days of her early transition. And two girls form a connection while preparing a bowl of ramen.

a decade is an experimental film that fuses analog and digital techniques and reflects on the artist's life through the 1980s—a time of rebellion, discovery, and loss. Blending Super 8 and 16mm film, digital animation and personal reflection, the film drifts from the raw urgency of punk rock to the glittering pulse of gay discos. Bookended by the deaths of his two closest friends, it’s a haunting and poetic elegy to a transformative era, where identity and community thrived amidst the shadows.
