Gay sci-fi is still a bit of a rarity, but the short film The Naturalist bucks the trend with it’s thought-provoking look at a dystopian future where the possibilities of science make dangerous choices possible.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘A gay man living in an oppressive society is given the chance to genetically modify his sexuality. He must weigh his loving relationship, his dignity and his survival in this short film that turns the notion of sexuality as “choice” on its head.’
The short screened to acclaim at numerous film festivals, including winning the Brooklyn Film Festival Spirit Award for Short Narrative. Now it’s online, so take a look above.
