UNDER THE RADAR

​

 

 

 

 

 

In numerous countries worldwide, LGBTQ+ individuals encounter discrimination, persecution, and even criminalization merely for being themselves. In the face of these adversities, queer filmmakers have emerged as formidable storytellers illuminating the struggles and victories of the queer community. Under the Radar aims to honour and uplift these voices living in oppressive regimes or enduring forced displacement. Our goal is to be a bridge, which leads to open dialogue, empathy, awareness and opportunities while paving the way for solidarity and transformation.

 

Our platform is dedicated to showcasing the strength, creativity, and resilience of courageous LGBTQ+ storytellers from the Global South and the Diaspora.Through inspiring stories we highlight new perspectives, particularly the Africanized queer voices that are often invisible and silenced. All films are in English or French with English subtitles.

Solidarity | Reach out and Touch

We aim to move audiences from empathy to action on LGBTQ+ rights issues. 100% of the proceeds go to 75 SHOTS Pocket Cinema, a non-profit media arts organization by, for, and about marginalized BIPOC queer artists, originally from the Global South. Through the power of mobile filmmaking, we support the collaborative creation of experimental films that amplify underrepresented voices, foster global solidarity, and advocate for humanitarian causes.

The main subject is a non binary black person's head and shoulder in b/w. Their haircut is short and shaved on the side. It is a cartoon illustration. There is a hand holding a smartphone in front of the subject in landscape mode. The index finger and thumb are all that you can see from the hand and it's in the same b/w colour as the subject with silver undertones. The frame of the phone is golden colour. The screen of the phone is cracked and ressembles a damaged windshield that has been broken by a fallen rock/pebble from a truck on the highway. The colour image on the screen of the phone, focuses on the naked eyes cheekbone and pierced nose. It’s in the radiant colour of the rainbow The mouth is in b/w as it is outside the frame of the smartphone. Illustration by Wacyl Kha 75 SHOTS founding member. Queer Cinema from the Global South
