OUR VISION

Change begins when LGBTQ+ people are heard, when they leave a trail. That is why we want to help to tell stories, to mark important events and to record the histories of individual people and communities. We want to give LGBTQ+ people a face and a voice: let them show and tell about their situation and their history, their joys and their needs. Our purpose is to work with filmmakers, documentary makers, photographers and journalists from Southeast Asia.  Read more
