“Living Archives of Tijuana’s LGBT Community”
Set during the 30th LGBTTTIQ+ Pride March in Tijuana, this short documentary presents a queer archivist whose career as a journalist has documented key moments in the region’s queer history, alongside an activist who uses drag performance and outspoken advocacy to challenge the stigma surrounding people living with HIV. Through archival imagery and alternative spaces like Enclave Caracol, located in the city’s historic downtown, the film reflects on memory, erasure, and the urgent need to tell our own stories.

In a warehouse in the heart of Los Angeles, a dwindling handful of devoted craftspeople maintain more than 80,000 student musical instruments, the largest remaining workshop in America of its kind. Meet four unforgettable characters whose broken-and-repaired lives have been dedicated to bringing so much more than music to the schoolchildren of this city.

This searing investigative work shadows a group of activists risking unimaginable peril to confront the ongoing anti-LGBTQ program raging in the repressive and closed Russian republic. Unfettered access and a remarkable approach to protecting anonymity exposes this under-reported atrocity–and an extraordinary group of people confronting evil.
