We Are Dancers

Directed by Joe Murphy-Roe

Berlin 1932, Hitler is rising to power. Queer-Femulator Hansi Sturm must overcome the arrival of her partner's former lover and his growing Nazism in order to save her relationship and discover the need for queer defiance in this new Nazi reality.
We Are Dancers is a stylish British gay short film about two men meeting in the charged atmosphere of a queer club. Joe Murphy-Roe keeps the story almost entirely physical, using movement, music and fleeting eye contact to capture the thrill of immediate attraction. Its brevity gives the film the quality of a vivid memory rather than a conventional romance.
