If you missed the December 4th in-person screening, you can find the FOGGY program online December 5 – 10, courtesy of the Toronto Queer Film Festival. How can family memories inform practices of solidarity? How can avant-garde voices engaging the past contribute to activism today? How do private archives queer public histories? How do yesterday’s photographs become tomorrow’s pictures? Foggy is a screening of recent short films that stage hybrid acts of fragmentation, juxtaposition, re-enactment and dialogue. ⊕
