Desire Lines

Directed by Jules Rosskam

An Iranian American trans man travels back in time to an LGBTQ+ archive to understand his sexuality. He encounters his past and present selves during an erotic journey of self-discovery.
Desire Lines is a formally inventive documentary-fiction hybrid exploring transmasculine sexuality, history and desire. Jules Rosskam combines interviews, archives and staged material intelligently, challenging the assumption that transition necessarily means abandoning gay male spaces or identities.
