If there’s one thing the angelic-voiced San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus can sell, it’s an old tune that feels as fresh as the day it was first sung when it’s barrelling through their lungs. Which is why we’re replaying Sundance New Frontier alum David Charles Rodrigues’ gorgeous documentary Gay Chorus Deep South as part of MQFF’s musically-minded program for 2024. Following the California-based gents – many of whom banded together during the HIV/AIDs crisis – as they go on tour through some of the southern states least likely to support LGBTQIA+ rights, they’re led by stalwart choir head Tim Seelig. A former Texan who felt driven out of town by his sexuality, his tender guidance of the group through rocky times in the aftermath of Trump’s 2016 election win reveals the film to be as much about the journey of personal healing as it is changing hearts and minds.
