Description
Across the Global South, queer storytellers create under censorship. Thanks to smartphones, queer activists now have unprecedented film-production access through devices they already own. No longer limited by expensive equipment, refugees, migrants, and diaspora filmmakers transform written texts and lived experiences into compelling short films. 75 SHOTS Pocket Cinema will showcase footage from a workshop they organized earlier that week through a Pride Empowerment Fund. Their co-created stories unite often unseen queer communities, proving storytelling power now fits in your palm—ready to challenge censorship and demand global visibility.
