Outraged by the latest bombing of Gaza, Palestinian queer activists Hamza and Walid recruit queer novelist Jean Genet to help them sabotage the Eurovision song contest in Jericho. Their method? Secure the collaboration of Buddy and Pedro, Toronto's famous gay penguins... The emergence of queer BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) as a dynamic Palestinian-led global movement is brought to vivid life through interviews and actions, opera and agitprop, protests and pranks. Recounting fifteen years of passionate activism in Toronto and worldwide, Photo Booth juxtaposes a surreal operatic narrative with documentary scenes that explore pride and pink-washing, gay soldiers and homo-nationalism, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, and the accelerating weaponization of anti-Semitism.

Anne está a punto de cumplir los 30 años y trabaja en una guardería en el centro de Toronto. Los niños la adoran, tiene su propio apartamento y se siente libre realizando paracaidismo. La gente que la rodea se da cuenta, pero nadie se atreve a diagnosticar cuál es su problema. La tensión aumenta a medida que su comportamiento se torna más errático. Son los nervios que produce una mujer bajo la influencia de algo. Pero, ¿de qué exactamente? La sensación es desagradable a la vez que extrañamente vivificante; algo similar al vacío que se forma en nuestro estómago cuando un avión se eleva y sabes que vas a tener que saltar por él desde las alturas.

“Haddad’s The Beautiful Room is Empty explores the loaded memories of space through his aunt, Marie, (re)visiting her childhood home and recalling the abuse she endured there. […] What have the walls been listening to? What have they absorbed, retained, and released upon a return, a farewell?” - Sarah Sarofim, Canadian Art
