Tiger Lily Mountain Pass

Directed by Nate King2024USA5 mins

Tiger Lily Mountain Pass is a hand-drawn animation inspired by director Nate King's time spent in the forests of Appalachia. In a region where queerness is often hidden or disguised, the work explores nature as a space of queer erotic encounter. King animates with a combination of pencil, paper and digital processes, weaving together a dreamlike poem that tells a story of ecstasy, meditation, and heartache.

'Tiger Lily Mountain Pass' is screening in:

Saturday Morning Cartoons

Don’t let the name fool you. From stories about queer erotic encounters to lusting over carrots, these animated shorts are strictly for adults.
