DISORDERLY CONDUCT is a new touring short films program curated by local Chicago filmmaker Henry Hanson. Dive into a world of deviant delights, featuring work from Chicago’s queer underground!
These queer underground short films spotlight unruly rebels who trespass, shoplift, scheme, skate, surf, fuck, and joyfully plot their revenge on a society that seeks to punish deviance. From stealing testosterone to redistribute to trans men, trespassing to dance, shoplifting to feed friends, defiling a colonizer’s grave, to assassinating a billionaire, these films reveal criminality as a gateway to new social forms, beautiful acts of love, and collective liberation. The rules are fucked up. Why not break them?
disorderly conduct is no longer available for bookings

CURATOR BIO: Henry Hanson, FSF’s Curator & Program Manager
Henry (they/he) is a filmmaker and programmer based in Chicago. His self-produced, self-distributed directorial debut “Bros Before” screened at dozens of venues internationally while gaining notoriety as an online cult hit, garnering several reviews deeming it “viral” and landing the highest Letterboxd rating of any short film with a 2022 festival premiere. As an independent programmer they partner with a variety of organizations — such as FACETS, The Music Box, and Solidarity Cinema — to present fresh, radical, and under-seen cinema with an emphasis on the queer/trans underground.
