A glimpse of the film
7-minute documentary
Description
A lyrical portrait of artist and scholar Courtney Desiree Morris asks what the queer imagination makes possible in the face of erasure. Moving through intimate studio footage, photographic montage, and large-scale performance, the film explores queerness as a source of creativity, resilience, and hope.
The festival’s managing director speaks about his choice of The Queer Imagination.
In conversation with the co-founder of Black Feminist Film School.
I happened to meet Courtney on a windy deck at a film party, and we ended up talking for what felt like hours. I was intrigued by what she had to say about feminism and made the film simply to continue the conversation. To my surprise, she was not only a brilliant scholar but an extraordinary performer and artist—a perfect subject for my first film.
