YAOI Long Island
2018 / 21 minutes / English
YAOI Long Island was shot at the Watermill Center on Long Island, New York, where a group young LGBT members interact for the first time socially in play, in conversation, and even swimming. The mood achieves an intimacy that enables these young people talk to one other about their gender concerns. Some are Lesbian, others are Bisexual or Transgender. In many cases, the participants of the film come a social background that can be described as deprived. They feel that somehow they do not fit in. And their gender challenges are not the only ones they have to confront.With the Watermill Center's sleek and polished museum as a backdrop, this group of searching teenagers express their awkwardness and honesty in their attempts to grapple with so many things of this world. They feel perhaps that they are ugly ducklings and yet their youth and optimism somehow shine through what would otherwise enshroud them in gloom.
