SQIFF Closing Film: Do I Sound Gay?

Journalist David Thorpe confronts his anxiety over sounding gay by visiting voice therapists, interviewing friends, and talking to queer icons such as George Takei and Margaret Cho. Thorpe explores the cultural history of the gay voice in TV and film and tries to find perspective and examine his own internalised homophobia.

Our closing film will be preceded by the presentation of the Festival’s inaugural awards, the SQIFFies, to the winning filmmakers.

Content note: depiction and discussion of homophobia.
