New York has long been known as a melting pot of different nationalities and cultures, but less studied is the multitude of queer lives where those living them don’t necessarily fall into any predefined box. The documentary Queer City sets out to help redress the balance, following a group of diverse people living in various parts of the city.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Four decades after the Stonewall riots, life is dramatically different for LGBTQ people. We used to be identified by our oppression. But who are we now? Are we still a community? The city that gave birth to the gay movement has changed, too. What are the untold stories of a culture that thrives in every borough and every corner of the city?
‘Queer City explores these and other questions through the lives of a highly diverse group of men and women living in New York City. The film cannot, of course, represent every aspect of LGBTQ life, and that’s not our goal. Rather, we are bringing together a selection of stories to offer a compelling portrait of new American lives.’
Filmmaker Draper Shreeve told NewNowNext, “I hope the audience will enjoy meeting a remarkable group of people they might not otherwise. I also hope they see how many different ways there are to be queer—ways that cut across gender, class and race.”
