The record hasn't stopped spinning.

What story are you looking for tonight?

Come in. Take your coat off. This is a small, hand-tended shelf of queer films and television, with notes, symbolism, and honest recommendations from someone who has stayed up too late thinking about all of them.

Say a title, a feeling, a decade, or the exact ache you can't name. I've been up late thinking about most of them.

No TV series on the shelf yet. Check back soon.

Undertone of the Week

Some stories were never allowed to say the words.

A weekly close reading of a film carrying queer subtext, coding, or an alternative reading worth naming.

A new undertone is coming soon.

Each feature is selected by the curator to highlight a different way queer audiences have found themselves in film.

Late Night Transmission · Coming soon

A signal from the projection booth.

Occasional dispatches: a video essay, a prop recreation, a small electronics build inspired by a film. This corner is reserved, and it will light up soon.

Tune in later.

"Every film here is one I've stayed up too late thinking about. That's the whole criterion."
