UNDER THE RADAR

​​

​

Offers a secure, invitation-only space for queer expression through film screenings, talkbacks, workshops, performances, readings, and critical discussions.

​

Why It Matters

Across the globe, LGBTQ+ people face harassment, censorship, exile, and imprisonment. In these environments, cinema becomes more than art — it becomes a lifeline, a coded message, a survival strategy, and a radical act of love.

Under the Radar exists to showcase powerful, often hidden films that speak to the complexities of queerness, identity, race, resilience, and freedom.

​

 PRIVATE. SUBVERSIVE. MOVING.

These pop-up events take place in undisclosed locations . To protect both artists and attendees, you must sign up to be invited. We strictly enforce a no-filming, no-recording policy to ensure privacy and safety, especially for participants who face real-life threats due to their identity or creative work. Through intimate gatherings rooted in trust, compassion, and courage, we reclaim public space as a site of resistance, healing, and connection.

​

 What We Showcase

We are dedicated to highlighting the strength, creativity, and resilience of courageous LGBTQ+ storytellers originally from the Global South, especially those working under censorship, criminalization, or forced displacement. Through inspiring and often suppressed stories, we program independent queer films that are frequently silenced or overlooked altogether.

All languages are welcome; however, English or French subtitles are required.​

​

 Submit. Collaborate. Host.

We’re actively seeking:​

​

  • New filmmakers — no entry fees, ever. Submit your work today!

  • New locations — Host a screening in your city

  • New collaborators — Partner with us to grow this movement.

 

Whether you're a filmmaker with a bold story to tell, a venue ready to host, or a community group seeking solidarity — we want to hear from you.

​

All genres welcome. All production years accepted.
We prioritise queer cinema by, for, or about underrepresented LGBTQ+ communities.

Solidarity | Reach out and Touch

We aim to move audiences from empathy to action on LGBTQ+ rights issues. 100% of the proceeds go to 75 SHOTS Pocket Cinema, a non-profit media arts organization by, for, and about marginalized BIPOC queer artists, originally from the Global South. Through the power of mobile filmmaking, we support the collaborative creation of experimental films that amplify underrepresented voices, foster global solidarity, and advocate for humanitarian causes.

The main subject is a non binary black person's head and shoulder in b/w. Their haircut is short and shaved on the side. It is a cartoon illustration. There is a hand holding a smartphone in front of the subject in landscape mode. The index finger and thumb are all that you can see from the hand and it's in the same b/w colour as the subject with silver undertones. The frame of the phone is golden colour. The screen of the phone is cracked  and ressembles a damaged windshield that has been broken by a fallen rock/pebble from a truck on the highway. The colour image on the screen of the phone, focuses on the naked eyes cheekbone and pierced nose.  It’s in the radiant colour of the rainbow The mouth is in b/w as it is outside the frame of the smartphone. Illustration by Wacyl Kha 75 SHOTS  founding member. Queer Cinema from the Global South
