UNDER THE RADAR
Queer Cinema by Under-Represented People of Colour from Around the World
Under the Radar is a unique initiative highlighting the struggles and triumphs of a population historically suppressed, disenfranchised, and often overlooked by mainstream media. A series of queer short films of all genres made by 2SLGBTQ+ filmmakers from the Global South. We are aiming to create safe communities and respectful relationships through awareness events like this one. People of all walks of life are taking back their voices by speaking out against oppression and the right to freedom. For marginalized queer populations living in oppressive regimes, the ability to virtually connect and securely communicate is like a lifeline. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to find out what is new. Screenings are free-of-charge and open to everyone. Donations go to our sister organization, 75 SHOTS POCKET CINEMA

OCTAVIA'S VISION
dir: Zara Zandieh
Germany, Fiction 17min, 2021
English
OCTAVIA’S VISIONS is inspired by the Parables of the African-American futurist author Octavia E. Butler, who died in 2006. Using poetic visual language, OCTAVIA’S VISIONS interweaves Butler’s worlds with contemporary issues of environmental degradation, far right extremism, and social liberation. The poetic piece expresses a queer utopian imaginary, a longing to create out of the old something new.
