Queersighted: The Queer and Now

If from Every Tongue It Drips

1h 8m

Directed by Sharlene Bamboat • 2021 • Canada

Filmmaker Sharlene Bamboat explores questions of distance and proximity, identity and otherness, through scenes from the daily interactions between two queer women, a poet and a cameraperson. Moving between three locations—Montreal, Batticaloa, and the Isle of Skye—and connected through languages (Urdu, Tamil, and English), personal and national histories, music and dance, and the gaze of the camera lens, they delve into subjects both expansively cosmic and intimately close—from quantum superposition to the links between British colonialism and Indian nationalism.
