Bold, tender, and unapologetically original, the Painted Bunting Shorts Block is a vibrant collection of stories that explore identity, connection, and the beautifully messy realities of queer life.From dreamlike childhood memories to unexpected romances, long-term love to late-life reinvention, these films span generations and genres with humor, heart, and a touch of the surreal:
🎬 Big Bass -- A filmmaker revisits a formative second-grade memory, where a larger-than-life PE teacher and a mysterious plastic fish become symbols of queer self-discovery.
🎬 Zari -- In the midst of wedding chaos in Delhi, a teen finds an unexpected spark with a sari shop clerk living a double life as an online drag performer.
🎬 The Yellow Sponge is the Dish Sponge -- A long-married couple’s battle over chores spirals into something deeper, revealing the complexities beneath everyday love.
🎬 Her Kind -- A poetic and enigmatic journey following a woman--almost--on a quiet, haunting trip with a child who isn’t hers.
🎬 Old Girl in a Tutu: Susan Rennie Disrupts Art History-- A witty, fearless portrait of an artist reclaiming space, identity, and joy later in life.
Together, these shorts form a kaleidoscope of queer experiences that are playful, poignant, and powerfully human.
