At Home
At Home pairs two voices: a 29-year-old trans musician and a 79-year-old lesbian archivist. Through jam sessions, shared gatherings, and the legacy of the Brick Hut Cafe and the Bay Area Lesbian Archives, this experimental documentary explores queer friendship as a way of life, across fifty years of difference and everything they share.
