MIXED DOCUMENTARY SHORTS

Chronically Yours (Directed by Jacob Goodbye, Documentary, U.S.) – This inspiring POC documentary follows Aubrey, a 27-year-old living with Multiple Sclerosis and how it affects her daily living, including her dating life.

In Kind (Directed by Katherine Gunning, Documentary, U.S.) – So cool, right here in North Carolina. In the Appalachian hills, a queer-led farm cultivates community and soil, showing us, what good humans can be.

Never Stand Down: The Quaraishi Family (Directed by Elena Chang, Documentary, U.S.) – For Indian Pakistani American Khalid Quraishi, his daughter Zunaira’s announcement that she was ready to marry the woman of her dreams was a joyous & miraculous occasion. Having lived through the Partition, persecution, and the harrowing threat of nearly losing Zunaira to illness, Khalid never once doubted what his Muslim faith had taught him to believe was most important of all: his love for his family.

This is Texas (Directed by John-Carlos Estrada and Zeh, Choral Documentary, U.S.) – We all need a little music in our lives these days. At nearly 100 voices strong, please join the Austin Gay Men’s Chorus as they take the stage at GALA to defend Texas trans youth. At its heart is Finn, a quiet trans singer who finds his courage and shows how music can rise as protest and power.

Where I Find Myself (Directed by Saidey Kim and Sydney Kim, Documentary, U.S.) – This film follows two teenagers, Alexander & Maëlle, as they come to understand their identities as gay & lesbian. As they confront acceptance, misunderstanding, and self-discovery, their stories highlight both the struggles and moments of resilience that shape their experiences growing up.

Why We March (Directed by Kathryn L. Beranich, Documentary, U.S.) – The collective power of marching – across generations, identities, and with a sense of purpose is celebrated in Kathryn L Beranich’s short film. Short, yes, but a cogent reminder and call-to-action to those who have marched before and those joining for the first time in these troubling times.
