Description

A short comedy that explores the strained lines of queer identity and gives us all a chance to laugh at our competitive desires to prove that we are the “queerest.”

San Francisco Transgender Film Festival. “Tranny Fest 2008.” October 18, 2015. https://web.archive.org/web/20151018113950/http://sftff.org/tranny-fest-2008/.

QUEERER THAN THOU asks the eternal question: who is the queerest of them all? And proposes a light-hearted way of settling such dogmatic arguments.

Queerer Than Thou is a comedic short that tackles the age-old question of 'Who is the queerest of them all?' With a cast representing many diverse aspects of the LGBT/Queer community, Queerer Than Thou explores the boundaries of identity, and the tensions that frequently exist along these borderlands. Through off-beat humor and a surreal dance-off finale, Queerer Than Thou pokes fun at LGBT/Queer communities from within. This unique and amusing critique of identity politics adds an important voice to the growing body of queer and trans cinema around the world.
