"Leather Graves" is an experimental 16mm film that explores the permeable boundaries between queer exile and queer utopia. Cruising amongst gravestones engraved with references to queer culture and sexuality, queers defy death by devouring candy-coated blossoms. The queer epitaphs in "Leather Graves" were created with an in-camera double exposure technique using a Bolex camera and a matte-box. The cast and crew are all trans, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and/or femme queer people.
Directed by Malic Amalya, Leather Graves leans on a strong ensemble — Nathan Hill, Marten Katze — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2025.
