THE EXPERIENCE
As part of PAM CUT’s celebration of nature in the month of April, we welcome director Pavli Serenetsky for their second feature film, More Beautiful Perversions. Distributed by The Future of Film is Female, this lush movie, shot on 16mm film, reimagines “getting lost in the woods” as a queer coming of age to connect us closer with Earth.

Shot on 16mm and portions hand-processed with plants, this sophomore feature of filmmaker and environmental educator Pavli Serenetsky (winner of The Grand Jury Prize for their debut Firstness at Outfest 2021) reimagines “getting lost in the woods” as a queer coming of age to connect us closer with Earth.
