Queersighted: The Queer and Now

Queerness has come to mean so much more than identity or sexuality—it’s a way of living, being, existing in the world. And queer artistry in contemporary cinema is similarly impossible to reduce, and tricky to define. In this latest edition of Queersighted, series curator Michael Koresky and his special guest Dennis Lim (artistic director of the New York Film Festival) sit down to discuss a selection of titles from the 2010s and ’20s that both stretch and elucidate the meaning of queerness on-screen. These are sense-heightening films whose radical approaches to cinematic narrative, form, and character speak to the shifting boundaries of our experience.
