Acting
Sound It Out: The Untitled LGBTQIA Music Documentary
An edgy and unapologetic look at the growing impact that open LGBTQ music artists, and their straight allies, are having on the portrayal of sexuality and gender politics in music, and its affect on the normalizing of gay culture. Using artists personal experiences as a lens, we'll look at sexuality's influence on music and the role of social media in helping artists complicate mainstream expectations of identity. How far are artists willing to push their music, messages and imagery to challenge the way pop culture defines notions of sexuality, masculinity, femininity, gender and what it means to be queer?
Get Along
The three-parts documentation GET ALONG portraits the identical twins TEGAN & SARA, who have been discovered by Neil Young himself, from three different points of view. STATES retraces the start of their career, INDIE accompanies the two musicians on their first India tour and FOR THE MOST PART is a recording of a very personal and intimate concert of the sisters from Vancouver, BC.
