(in)visible

The Arzner Cinema
Some dream of disappearing. Others dream of being seen. This programme explores the shifting spectrum between visibility and invisibility: the joy of being recognised, the safety of staying hidden, the freedom of living a secret life, the shame that keeps us concealed, and the danger that can come with being seen. Across these shorts, queer lives unfold in all their complexity, where being visible is never a simple choice.
