The Knowing (21 min.) Adam, a white man in his late 30s, is visiting his Black ex-lover, Peter, who is dying of AIDS in a DC hospital. Also in attendance is Cherie, a Black lesbian naval officer who is Peter’s best friend. While waiting in the hospital cafeteria, Adam and Cherie compare notes about the course of Peter’s illness. This leads them to a terrible discovery.

Single Use (11 min.) Single Use is set in a small New Zealand beach town. It follows 20-year-old Noah, a young man plagued by constant discrimination after being publicly outed with HIV. During this film, we see him reconnect with Max, the boy who he once loved and who he acquired HIV from. It is through the film’s twists and turns that we aim to explore and analyze the stigma surrounding the transactional nature of many queer relationships.
