About: We are excited to showcase a selection of short films curated by our beloved community partner organization QWOCMAP (Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project). This will be a monthly event, with each month featuring films that align with the monthly topic.
May’s films will center around Asian and Pacific Islander History. From healing younger selves and relationships with family, to transgender women who celebrate their true selves, to an abundance of queer love and joy, these films take us through the beautiful and layered experience of the LBTQIA+ Asian and Pacific Islander communities as we honor their legacy through the stories they tell.
