The 6 Queer Short Films at Sundance 2026
Of the 28 total films I watched, just six of them were queer or featured queer characters in some way.
Deep Gold
Deep Gold is an homage to Luis Bunuel's surrealist film "The Golden Age" from 1930, which Bunuel made in collaboration with Salvador Dali. In his film, Bunuel confronted the values of the Catholic Church and the hypocritical bourgeois sexual morality of his time. Deep Gold functions like an additional insert in Bunuel's black and white film. It shows a world of desire and lust into which Modot, the protagonist in Bunel's film, is drawn and overwhelmed by the omnipresence of female sexuality.
