Queer Resonance

Queer Resonance is a documentary short about connections between young LGBTQ people across history. As an archival assistant at ONE Archives, I found a collection of letters written to the staff of one of the oldest gay publications in the US - ONE Magazine. These letters told stories of queer people struggling to understand their identities, searching for love, facing oppression, and seeking community in the 1950s and 60s. I had some of my LGBTQ friends read and respond to these letters in 2019, where they discovered a resonance with the past that they may not have expected.
