Handsome Devil (dir. Daniel Barrow) is screening at the San Diego Underground Film Festival

Barrow uses Amiga software from the late 1980s (DeluxePaint 4) to create this romantic pink and green story of a "sissy devil" who probes the depths of internet intelligence, composing an “advanced search” on an antiquated search engine. Simultaneously, a naked, green, feminine artist traces the contours of her devilish destiny on her sketch pad, and then within an imaginary dating app. The “advanced search” becomes a kind of contemporary, queer, love poem.

The Fruit Machine: A Space Opera (dirs. Lorri Millan & Shawna Dempsey)

When a queer little space alien crashes to Earth and looks for survival tips, she finds what she needs on television, a ready-made guide to the ins and outs of 20th-century conformity. This tale is set against the true history of the Fruit Machine, a test for aberrant sexuality developed by the Canadian government in the 1960s.
