Block Description:
Queer intimacy is layered, joyful, messy, political, tender, and deeply human. This evening spotlight celebrates stories that move beyond stereotype to explore vulnerability, chosen family, romance, survival, and self-definition. These films remind us that queer love is not a niche experience — it is expansive, ordinary, radical, and real.
