Queer Resonance

“Queer Resonance is a documentary short about connections between young LGBTQ people across history. As an archival assistant at ONE Archives, I found a collection of letters written to the staff of one of the oldest gay publications in the US—ONE Magazine. These letters told stories of queer people struggling to understand their identities, searching for love, facing oppression, and seeking community in the 1950s and 60s. I had some of my LGBTQ friends read and respond to these letters in 2019, where they discovered a resonance with the past that they may not have expected.”
