Desire Lines
Director: Jules Rosskam, 83 min, USA
Ahmad (Aden Hakimi), an Iranian American transgender man, explores his gay desires as he travels back and forth in time from a queer archive in the present with Kieran (Theo Germaine), to a gay bathhouse in the past, walking the halls and bumping shoulders, and more, with cis men back in time. Drawing from first-person accounts and fictionalized segments, filmmaker Rosskam explores the lines of desire as they intersect with identity for many transmen. This hybrid documentary blends personal interviews, archival materials, and narrative fiction to explore the complicated and often unwritten history of transmasculine sexuality.
