QUEER ATLAS
Curated LGBTQ+ films, documentaries, talks, and archival material shaped by specific social, legal, and cultural conditions across Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, South and Southeast Asia, and diaspora contexts.
Much of this work is demonetised, restricted, or unavailable on mainstream platforms. We exist because YouTube's ad system penalises the specificity and sexual frankness that makes this cinema culturally significant.
Your support—through subscriptions, memberships, or Super Thanks—keeps this archive accessible.

The relationship between Majolie and Chouchou in The Bloodiest is seen as queer by many critics, and the mevungu ritual tradition at its heart is a women-only space that operates outside male authority.
