Additional Details

Runtime: 1 Hr. 20 Min. Rating: Release Year: 2024 Director: Jules Rosskam Producer: André Alan Pérez, Amy E. Powell, Brittani Ward Screenwriter: Nate Gualtieri, Jules Rosskam Cinematographer: Marie Hinson

Through an innovative blend of first-person interviews, a fictional storyline, and never-before-seen archival gems, DESIRE LINES asks how external forces shape our most private desires. Director Jules Rosskam pushes again the binaries of documentary and fiction, masculine and feminine, and amplifies the voice of Milwaukee-raised activist Lou Sullivan. Stirring conversation and earning praise across the country (2024 Sundance Film Festival NEXT Jury Prize, for one), DESIRE LINES is a can't miss festival gem.

- Following the 4/14 screening there will be a Q&A with Jules Rosskam (director, writer), Aden Hakimi (Cast)
