SF IndieFest: More Beautiful Perversions & Boyfighter

More Beautiful Perversions

Told through the darkly comedic lens of a teenager who’s never been in a forest, this ecological spin of a classic coming of age tale, shot on 16mm and (partially) hand processed with plants, unfolds in both ancient forests and cities. Produced by the activist collective Purpose Repair Shop, authored by environmental educator Pavli Serenetsky, and starring cult-beloved musicians, it blends humor, self-discovery, and environmental/queer awakening into a fresh narrative art form. (Dir. Pavli Serenetsky, 70 mins)

Boyfighter
Haunted by the brutal legacy he passed down, a retired bare-knuckle fighter confronts the cost it had on his son as he prepares for the final, most personal fight of his life. (Dir. Julia Weisberg Cortas, 17 mins)
