WHAT IS IT About?

''An intimate portrayal of two young male dancers who forge an artistic and sensual bond, transcending fear and self-doubt to live empowered and authentic lives.''


Aeneas, struggling with fear of rejection and anxiety. When he is paired with Alex, a visiting Greek-American dancer for his dance thesis, the two young men find a connection that grows beyond their art. The intoxicating power of physical discovery and a shared love of Hellas (Greece) and New York City unfold in a love story through music and movement. This intimate tale reveals the beauty that lies within us all and the transformative power of self-love.

DIRECTOR'S INSIGHT

ALIGNED is about being compassionate with the part of ourselves that always feels broken and not enough, lovable, or worthy. These tendencies toward insecurity, negativity, and fear can sabotage our dreams. It is about reaching a point where we transform self-doubt into self-love to overcome fear and judgment and embrace our human imperfections. Apollo Bakopoulos

Why this film?

Many gay roles in mainstream media are oversexualized and reflect harmful stereotypes. Reconnecting to the authentic self and aligning with our inner voice is necessary for deeper connection and genuine bonds. We aim to portray healthy, authentic examples of intimacy, especially for impressionable LGBTQ youth. The limited and distorted representation we’ve seen deserves to be rewritten, honoring the full humanity and beauty of our community.

LOVE IS WHAT WE ARE BORN WITH, FEAR IS WHAT WE LEARN
