Shorts 3 – Contact
Whether it’s a bar or club, a street corner, an isolated cabin or somebody’s home; the feeling of yearning can get into gear anywhere. That is, if you are driven by longing – for intimacy and warmth, for the past and in the future, to be seen, wanted and loved. In this program, six short films will guide you through interactions full of desire and moments of reflection that might not bring forward any particular answers, but are led by the right questions.

Bigger on the Inside
From an isolated wooded cabin a trans man star-gazes, scruff chats with guys, watches youtube tutorials, takes drugs, and lies about taking drugs – feeling his way through a cosmology of embodiment.
Bigger on the Inside probes the boundaries between interior and exterior, the micro and macro, to consider bodily insides as passageway and portal, relative to the immensity of longing. Nudes and landscapes are equally erotic. Eros as an issue of boundaries: When I desire you, a part of me is gone. Land is surreal. Memory is porous.
