Children of the Moon: The Mercury Sign invites short films from Queer/Trans POC artists from Latin America and Latin American descent.

As a form of redefining by undefining, the program hopes to explore the organic, fluid nature of gender, identity, and spirituality within the collective queer voice as a unified community. An experience rendered vulnerable to a heteronormative universe that sacrifices their bodies as a consequence of their manifestation.

Children of the Moon invites artists to submit short-form essay films, narrative, documentary, and experimental films & videos. The selected works will be shown at different venues in NYC (Millennium Film Workshop, Anthology Film Archives, and Maysles Documentary Center) during July, August, and October with the opportunity to expand internationally.

Summer Deadline: July 29, 2022 Fall Deadline: September 30, 2022
