From public toilets to dingy cinemas, cruising has long tested the borders between being seen and hiding in the shadows. Pleasure and danger are intimately intertwined in this OPEN AIR shorts program, where private fantasies are played out in the open. Blurring the lines between voyeurism and exhibitionism, porn actors, social media influencers, or those simply looking for a good time seek to fulfil their complex desires and fetishes. (QE)
