"The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot" - Audre Lorde. In this action-packed animation thriller, CampbellX and So Mayer find and replace film posters promoting movies by white straight dudes about white straight dudes. The (finger puppet) protagonists gleefully complete their quest in the tube, and on the streets of London, to an original song by the QWOC punk band, Big Joanie.

Faggotgirl Gets Busy in the Bathroom
Krissy Mahan
This short is a playful and sexy romp (no dialogue) through the bars of Philadelphia's "gayborhood" to explore if the bars are wheelchair accessible, and if they have gender-neutral bathrooms. That sounds technical, (and the film does include accurate information about accessibility standards), but it stars Faggotgirl, a butch dyke super-hero action figure. This short is affirming of transgender/GNC people and people with diverse mobility methods.

My Aunt Mame
Krissy Mahan
A working class, gender non-conforming woman in the 1960s leaves a legacy for her butch dyke grand niece. This is a humanizing narrative made 100% by one queer older woman, which highlights intersectional identities that complicate discourses of sex, gender, and class.
