Directing
Six Black filmmakers come together to create a story about healing and belonging. A flamboyant Black trans non-binary person seems to be lost in a park in Berlin after a party. The character is experiencing an intense feeling of dissociation. This has happened before, their mind takes them away to cope with trauma, anxiety, gender dysphoria and racism. They pass out and their Consciousness travels to another dimension where there is no time. Here, they meet 'Ancestors' who share messages for their journey towards healing.
In the surreal dystopian present, two queer feminist crews cohabit the shells of an abandoned malt factory. As a troubling pattern begins to emerge from their mouths in the form of shattered glass, all are shaken, but some are hit harder than others. Through dance, visual work, and anti-work, they merge forces to try to care for one another and combat the insidious violent process which seems to increasingly come from within.
Volana (Moon in Malagasy) is a Black Transmasculine dreamer who hides their emotional and physical pain in the shadows of a club. One night, when everything seems fragile and close to collapsing, Volana gets stuck in another space where they meet Tia who will show them the multidimensional aspect of their being.
Midnight. The moon is shining and the night is feverish in the colorful queer club. An injured Black transmasculine pole dancer is interrupted in his performance preparations by mysterious phone calls. Fear of rejection has prevented him from saying who he really is, and kept him away from everything. What if tonight, the magic of his pole offered him the chance to reconnect with the people he loves, and reveal his full radiance?
