Illuminate

A short film that evokes the lived experience of being in the LGBTQ closet via sensual, poetic cinematography. This film presents the main research findings of a cinematic-phenomenological research study featuring in-depth interviews with research participants about their lived experiences of being closeted as sexual minorities. All imagery in the film is derived from research participants’ descriptions of what being in the closet felt like for them personally.
