Capturing the conflicted identity of an imagined queer club queue through the use of overlayed audio and footage from five flagship clubs in London. This 5 minute short poses as a liminal space where queerness is visible and vulnerable to the eyes of the general public.

External footage from Pxssy Palace, Riposte, Fold, The Divine, Dalston Superstore with interviews recorded in a studio environment. The subjects dressed up in club attire, acting out the experience of being in a club queue, whilst being prompted through thematic topics.
