In 2016 the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus (SFGMC) embarked on a tour of the American South to bring their unique and powerful voices of love and acceptance to an area deeply divided by anti-LGBTQ+ laws. From Mississippi to Tennessee, North and South Carolina, the choir is joined by The Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir on a mission to overcome prejudice and fear.
Led by the charismatic Chorus Conductor Dr. Tim Seelig, who was ejected from his Texas Church when he came out as gay, the film follows a number of chorus members who fled the South and whose return brings back many painful memories. Performing in religious institutions, whose doors are often barred to LGBTQ+ people, the choirs are determined to bring the house down with their magnificent voices.
A winner of countless Film Festival Audience Awards, GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH is a stirring film that shows the positive effects of human connection and understanding, and the undeniable power of music.
Gay Chorus Deep South is the Opening Night film for the 30th Melbourne Queer Film Festival. Opening night tickets (which include our After party) are available at mqff.com.au
