In a context where we are once again under attack and finding our rights being pushed back, we want to thank you all for being a very bright spot in our lives, for being the community we always imagined having.

Being in this practice of working together to ask and answer these questions makes us stronger as a community and ready for anything that can be thrown at us.
MIX was founded during a time of great loss and crisis, when AIDS both decimated the queer community and made it fiercely resilient.

We are all in a practice right now, a devoted habit of asking each other what we need, what we want to achieve, and how we can support each other to make them happen.

But beyond that, we’re creating one of the few spaces in our lives that isn’t fueled by capitalism – instead, it’s run by mutual aid and with care.

We brought together artists and revelers for three days of queer, experimental films and celebration.
On the surface, we’re putting on a queer experimental film festival. Showcasing work that won’t be bought and sold, all of us working without monetary pay.

This year’s festival unlocks new worlds of expression—films that breathe, stories that defy convention, and visions that expand the possibilities of queer film. Together, we gather to witness the collision of art, identity, and community in all their raw, luminous forms.

“F*ck the Fourth” is an evening of anti-4th of July counter-programming from queer video artists and filmmakers working from the 1990s to present. The works making up the program deconstruct, expose, and finally reimagine the American nation-state through a distinctly queer, anti-imperialist lens.
