Lost Underground explores the role of queer clubs as spaces of communal care, liberation, and self-preservation, both prior to and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The film is accompanied by a structural installation created by multidisciplinary artist GeoVanna Gonzalez, inviting visitors through a portal emulating the club entrances, music guiding your path.
