(THIS FILM WAS PART OF OUR 2022 FESTIVAL LINEUP AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THE SLAMDANCE CHANNEL) Chameleon is an experimental visual album grown from the radical queer feminist genre of the biomythography originated by Audre Lorde. Broken into five distinct confessional/autobiographical poems: Linoleum, Stank, Wake, Entertainer, and Effigy (all written by Jaamil Olawale Kosoko), each poem acts as a chapter depicting and reimagining specific moments from their past.
