The Legacy

The Legacy

2010 · 13 min · Fantasy

Cruising an enchanted forest, a mirror-masked flâneur encounters a series of oracles, each with forgotten wisdom to impart to him through song. Borrowing the words and voices of gay elders from religious and mystical scholar Andrew Harvey to British essayist Quentin Crisp to founding Radical Faerie Harry Hay, The Legacy weaves together a spiritual manifesto for queer men, reigniting a battle cry for personal and collective metamorphosis.
