SALT LAKE CITY — After going digital-only last year, Utah's queer film festival Damn These Heels returns this year with a handful of never-before-seen films.
The festival's name comes from the idea that you can gain empathy and a new perspective by putting yourself in someone else's shoes — or their heels, according to director of programming Ash Hoyle.
The festival started continues through Sunday, July 18. A total of 25 short films and 25 features will be available during the festival, and many can be viewed on demand from anywhere in the world.
"There's really something for everybody," Hoyle said. "There really is such a huge amount, a kaleidoscope of perspective, which we're really excited about."
