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?
