FUSE YOUTH GROUP PRESENTS YOUTH FOR YOUTH SHORTS
This free presentation of youth shorts includes 6 new shorts made through the FairyTales Queer Film Festival’s Youth Queer Media Project in Calgary. From January to May 2013, the participants worked with mentor and Filmmaker Sandi Somers to explore the theme of “24 Hours in this Queer Life”. The films tackle issues from everyday life- queer identity in a contemporary world- facing challenges and overcoming obstacles. The programme also includes Brazilian short Popkamikaze and a visually stunning short called Whispers of Life by Florian Halbedl.
