Children of the Moon is screening in the cinema for a suggested donation of $15/$7 reduced price on Thursday, November 3rd at 7:30PM
Children of the Moon is a program of selected works by Queer/Trans BIPOC artists from Latin America, the Caribbean, First Nations and descendants. As a form of redefining by undefining, Children of the Moon explores the organic nature of gender, identity and spirituality within the collective queer voice as a unified community – an experience rendered vulnerable to a heteronormative universe that often sacrifices QTBIPOC bodies as a consequence of their manifestation. The Mercury Sign is a new version of this program that focuses on the collective voice of a community that moves beyond the cis heteronormative universe. The astrological sign of Mercury has been reappropriated by the trans and queer community to represent gender-fluidity and non-heterosexuality, but it has also been used to symbolize the power of self-determination. The short films selected showcase a variety of forms including experimental, video essays, poetic and narrative approaches challenging the traditions of genres in cinema and the binary views of our society.
