Sound It Out: The Untitled LGBTQIA Music Documentary

An incisive and unapologetic examination of the growing influence that open LGBTQ music artists—and their straight allies—are having on the portrayal of sexuality and gender politics in music, and on the normalization of gay culture. Through the artists' personal experiences as a lens, the piece probes sexuality's influence on the art form and the role of social media in helping artists complicate mainstream expectations of identity. How far will artists push their music, messages, and imagery to challenge the way pop culture defines notions of sexuality, masculinity, femininity, gender, and what it means to be queer?
