미국 뉴욕 시의 이스트빌리지 예술 현장. 예술가 여럿이 등장하여 이야기를 펼치고 자신만의 예술을 선보이며 1980년대부터 2017년까지 광범위한 예술계를 영상에 함축적으로 풀어낸다. 이를 통해 우리는 예술계의 흐름을 자세히 살펴볼 수 있게 되고 예술계 속의 퀴어들이 지금까지 펼쳐온 활약을 볼 수 있다. 그중에서도 에이즈라는 질병의 위험 속에서 예술 현장에 대해 깊이 사유하는 이들을 집중하며 바라본다면 사고가 확장되는 것을 느낄 수 있을 것이다.

A filmmaker continues shooting his film after his funding is pulled - a grim reality he has kept secret from his cast. His mind awash in the noise of memory and morphine, he reflects on his own life through the characters in his script. The story is told with highly stylistic vignettes projected in the black void of his mind, bringing to life each of the characters he has created on paper. "Phantom Images" explores the new challenges confronting gay men - and the cultural changes that have made communication between generations more difficult.
