Synopsis
The next edition of Altered Innocence's collection of short films is finally here with over three hours of LGBTQ and Coming-of-Age short films in two separately curated programs! Our 'Altered' program is a wild blast of strange and transgressive visions with films about virtual love dolls on a revenge tear, twinks eager to be annihilated, and a lesbian director obsessed with big boobs. The 'Innocence' program is a more tender and subtle program of loveliness with tales about brotherly love, modern transgender life, intergenerational relationships, and boys testing the limits of traditional masculinity.
