Riverside Queerness

2021 · 18 min

A quiet, murky drift through buried memories, like listening to secrets told in a low voice by the river.

Overview: Three storytellers navigate the muddy water that is Manitoba’s subconscious, where truth is blurred by the power of the currents. Their narratives reveal hard moments in the prairie’s shadowy queer history.
How it feels: Melancholic, eerie, bleak and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Memory, identity, sexuality, isolation
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
