Under My Skin (Shorts Block)

A new block of fantasy-horror shorts creeps its way into the GAZE programme! Reflecting a queer community under increasing pressure to quieten and conform, these are eight unnerving pictures of people ill at ease in the world, doing whatever it takes to find their place. Some of them might get what they want in the end… and some might not be so lucky.
