New Queer Visions: Seeing is Believing

Directed by Wes Hurley, Celeste Joven, Hakim Mastour, Nathan M. Miller, Kaj Palanca, Jamieson Pearce, Tavo Ruiz, Anthony Schatteman

In a world where men hide their true love and feelings, where a mother turns a blind eye to her son's identity, and where religion dictates that a man may only lie with a woman — is everything we see truly what it seems to be? The latest release from New Queer Visions takes a look at representations of boys and men, how desires are hidden from those around them, and how self-belief conquers doubt. The short films are: Adult (2017); Hello, Stranger [Dag vreemde man] (2016); Little Potato (2017); Juan Gabriel is Dead [Se murió Juan Gabriel] (2018); The Guest [Le convive] (2017); Contestant #4 (2016).
