True Colors Project is pleased to present its Short Film Showcase as part of the 2023 My True Colors Festival (MTCF) in honor of National LGBTQ+ History Month. MTCF’s mission is fighting for social justice and cultural diversity through the arts, providing a safe and affirming space for diverse, underrepresented LGBTQIAGNC+ and BIPOC storytellers. The festival’s showcase this year features films from a diverse group of artists, telling stories that celebrate our culture, our identity, and our resilience. Following the screening there will be a talkback with the featured artists who will share the inspiration behind their work and their creative storytelling.
Here is a rundown of the lineup:
Ditmas written by Glenn Alterman and directed by Ben Rauch: This film of the short play by Glenn Alterman explores bullying and gender identity. In this warm and tender story, two strangers who meet at a bar find a connection they never would have imagined.
i-3: BLACKOUT by Ladu Pearson and Eugene Robinson Jr.: Documentary that follows five Black gay men who share their compelling experiences about dealing with and discovering the intersections of their identities of being Black, a Black man, and a Black gay man in America.
La Cena by Jaime E Tejada: After finding out her only daughter, Guadalupe, is a lesbian, Maria, a devoted Catholic, invites Guadalupe and her girlfriend over for dinner, leading to an interesting evening. Will Maria come to accept her daughter, or will her beliefs get in the way? Award-
Lovie Dovie by Francesca Brescia: Animated short about marine life enthusiast Dovie St. James who comes to terms with her sexuality when she’s unexpectedly charmed by a new girl in class.
Macaroni Soup by Alayna Y: Animated short about a young woman who falls in love with a waitress in a greasy, yet-nostalgic Hong Kong-style, café. But a language gap divides the two – or is there something more?
