Carving Coming goes beyond sexuality and looks at queerness as a site of
contesting normalization.

PROGRAM DETAILS:

Seventh Grade – Stefani Saintonge
(2014, 11:18)
Everyone is growing up except Patrice. But when a raunchy rumor threatens
her best friend’s reputation, she’s forced to join the party and embrace
adolescence.

Goodnight My Love – Kellee Terrell
(2013, 10:00)

Aimee and Cynthia, a Black lesbian couple, try to avoid death – and hash
out their relationship issues – during the zombie apocalypse.

The Break – Alexis Mitchell
(2013, 13:55)

In his book “The Queen’s Throat: Opera, Homosexuality, and the Mystery of
Desire,” Wayne Koestenbaum examines voice as a site of transgression and
inherent queerness. He examines how the break in the singing voice from
chest to head is inherently gendered – moving from male to female as it
breaks. The Break, an experimental, performative documentary focuses on
this idea of the “break” to explore the relationship between gender and the
singing voice.

Whatever Happened to Jackie Shane? – Lauren Hortie and Sonya Reynolds
(2014, 9:00)

Toronto, 1963. Jackie Shane – a black, cross-dressing, Nashville-born,
Toronto-based musician – had a hit song which was also an underground gay
anthem. But before being able to enjoy this success, Jackie suddenly
disappeared. Uncovering this forgotten piece of Toronto queer music
history, Hortie and Reynolds recreate Jackie’s story using shadow puppets,
overhead animation and stop motion. Follow Jackie through the 1960s Toronto
Yonge Street music scene, the tabloid scandals, to their mysterious
disappearance.

Heft – Alexandria
(2014, 10:01)

Heft is a film about the daily encounters between one queer woman and the
suitors and scoundrels who vie for her attention.
