Documentary: You Don’t Nomi

Youth Shorts Program: Coming Up Queer – Shorts Program
 

This is just a sampling of the highlights of the hundreds of movies, documentaries, and shorts that will be screened in five theaters in three cities in two counties over the eleven days. The programmers of the festival go to great lengths to depict as many different variations of the various aspects of the LGBTQ+ community as possible. Every year I see movies that surprise and enlighten me about a part of the community I either have never heard of or no little about. I usually get to see documentaries or historical narratives that teach me about our often hidden or lost history.

For me, it’s a week-and-a-half immersion into all things LGBTQ+!
 

More details and my thoughts on the movies I see will be posted in The Pit (due to the political content of some programs). I will post a link after I create the Topic. The Pit is a closed club, but I believe you can request to join.
