Grief is both one of our most feared and most inevitable emotions. The filmmakers in this program bravely explore this shared experience through their own uniquely queer eyes in this beautiful and moving collection. We have all felt degrees of loss this past year. Perhaps these films can provide reflection and solace; a chance not to turn away from the sadness, but to hold it close and give it space to transform into something else.
