If This Were Purgatory

Gossip, identity, politics, and romance. Following a group of friends to a club, this film waits with them, eavesdropping on the voice of a queer club queue. Exploring the idea that queer people, by nature of being marginalised, exist on the borders, this docufiction is a tentative invitation to the fantasy of the London queer club scene. It poses the queue as a liminal space where queerness is visible and vulnerable to the eyes of the general public.
