QUEER FLUID BODIES SHORTS

EU, 2025
84 min., OmeU

A gaze that lingers. A body that slips out of frame. A gesture that means something else. In Queer Fluid Bodies, the screen becomes a space where bodies are seen — not as fixed shapes, but as shifting forms, read and rendered through a queer lens. Some films explore nonbinary identity directly; others inscribe queerness into genre, into silence, into looks that linger too long or not long enough. Certain works hold the body close — skin, scars, movement — yet refuse to pin it down. What emerges isn’t a singular narrative, but a constellation of subtext, tension, tenderness. These films don’t seek clarity. They slip between codes, spill out of categories, and insist on a cinema that holds space for ambiguity, softness, and resistance — all at once.
