“Loss isn’t an absence after all, it’s a presence.”
Jackie Kay, Trumpet (1998)
A Different Home asks what “home” means for queer people who live in a city but grew up in a rural place. Interviews layered on Scottish landscape shots explore the tensions between craving a rural life and thriving in an urban queer community. Interviewees share their sense of belonging to and alienation from both cities and rural spaces. Visually rooted to the land, this documentary reflects on what it means to grieve a space and a home which are still there but do not welcome us as who we are.
