Out of the Corner of Our Eye is a poetic documentary reflection about seven iconic, formerly
queer spaces in Los Angeles that are no longer what they once were. From a longstanding
lesbian community haven, to a research center funded by a pioneering trans man, to the
custom-built home of America's first well-known drag performer, this film examines lost social
centers and asks what queer space looks like–and might mean–today.

Narrated by River Gallo, written and directed by John Ira Palmer, cinematography by Tag
Christof, and music by Henry Oliver (fka JR Schwartz).

Funded by National Endowment for the Arts & commissioned by SCI-Arc Channel for our
Queer Perspectives in Architecture series.
