The Closet Is Not Our Place

A feature-length documentary that combines interviews and artistic performances to share powerful stories of people who have gone through the process of understanding, accepting, and embracing their sexualities and gender identities. The film presents a range of “closets,” each with its own unique journey, while also revealing shared experiences across different lives. Cis and trans individuals, women, men, and non-binary people of various races, backgrounds, and ages recount the moments they came out to the world. Despite their differences, the documentary highlights the connections that unite the LGBTQIA+ community and celebrates its cultural and artistic expression—offering support, visibility, and a deeper understanding of what it means to come out.

Directed by Alexsandro Stenico
