MORE BEAUTIFUL PERVERSIONS. 2025. USA. Written and directed by PAVLI SERENETSKY. With Zahara Jaime, Alli Logout, Lila Doliner, Daria McKnight, and Gregory Barnett. DCP. 70 min.
An eco-parable produced by the mutual aid collective Purpose Repair Shop, in collaboration with land stewards, underground music legends, and over 15 co-directors. Shot on 16mm and portions hand-processed with plants, this sophomore feature of filmmaker and environmental educator Pavli Serenetsky (winner of The Grand Jury Prize for their debut Firstness at Outfest 2021) reimagines “getting lost in the woods” as a queer coming of age to connect us closer with Earth.
