TORSO is an international film experiment that explores the online queer community. One torso at time.
Australian Filmmaker Tim Marshall set out to meet people online via queer hookup apps and discover the world of stories that exists behind their dating profiles, offline. What emerged is a diverse collection of brave and honest interviews. By filming only each subject’s naked torso, Tim aims to comment on the superficiality inherent in the online queer community. This approach has been used in an effort to break down body image stereotypes, whilst celebrating the varied physicality of the men using these apps.
This project started in Sydney, Australia in 2013 and has continued throughout 2014 in Reykjavik, Iceland and Los Angeles, USA.
Exhibited as an interactive video installation with custom built app at Outfest Los Angeles 2014 and Reykjavik International Film Festival 2019.

Heads up: the shoutbox will be retiring soon. It’s tired of working, and can’t wait to relax. You can still send a message to the channel owner, though!
