“Where Lies the Homo?” is a film diary that explores the construction of gay identities through an analysis of media clips and coming-out tales. The narrative’s focus is on demystifying stereotypical representations of queerness in film while offering a pesonal view of growing up queer in a heterosexist culture. From Disney to underground gay cinema, from Hollywood divas to grainy home movies, this experimental collage juxtaposes and reinterprets many of our iconographic images of sexuality and family.
