Sex, Sin & 69 (80 Minutes)

Release Year: 2019

Director: Sarah Fodey

Synopsis:

Told through contemporary voices including queer academics, historians, activists, educators, artists, and community builders, the film attempts to challenge our understanding of queer history by shining a light on widely adopted misconceptions surrounding decriminalization.

Key of T (12 Minutes)

Release Year: 2020

Director: Ashley Chugg

Synopsis:

Choral singer Ari Agha is faced with this dilemma when they consider testosterone therapy, which could cost them their singing voice. A dire lack of research on the topic makes it an even tougher decision. "Key of T" is the story of their decision, the journey of their voice transition, and what they did with the result.
