"With ‘Queer Futures’ Joy Becomes a Strategy for Liberation"
Raquel Willis: “If we only look at liberation as something in the future, we miss opportunities in our day-to-day life. I think all of [these] films speak to the need to build liberation into the present; to build it into creating sites of connection, sites of embodiment, sites of deeper and stronger self-expression.”
