BIO / CONTACT

Alli Logout (they/them) is a black, gender non-conforming filmmaker and performance artist whose work explores the south, the abject, and the body. They create cinematic social experiments in collaboration with non-professional actors to author counter-narratives from within their own communities and subcultures. Logout’s work centers Blackness and Queerness in the South, the creation of those identities, and their destruction. Through stories that are lived-in they propose a new form of being, not as a fantasy, but with feet firmly planted in the now.

Their work has been seen nationally and internationally, including exhibitions and screenings at the SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco, BFI Flare, London, Mix NYC, New York, and the Korea Queer Culture Festival, Seoul. Their film Lucid Noon, Sunset Blush (2015) won ‘Best Feminist Short’ at the Scottish Queer International Film Festival. In 2020 was also the Winner of the Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Award. Aside from filmmaking Logout is he writer and vocalist of the punk band, Special Interest and is the co- founder of Studio LaLaLa, a black and trans operated production studio focused on aiding underprivileged communities in the creation of their own narratives.
