Surviving Voices - AIDS Memorial Quilt Panel Makers

The 2023 chapter of Surviving Voices focuses on the Untold Stories of the AIDS Memorial Quilt; those of the people who commemorate lost loved ones by sewing Quilt panels. Released to the public on World AIDS Day 2023 (December 1st), the videos were filmed throughout 2022.

The 25-minute mini documentary had its world premiere at the Frameline Film Festival 2023 and is comprised of 19 interviews with lovers, friends, parents, and siblings of some of the 100,000 individuals who are commemorated in the panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt and who succumbed to AIDS related complications. Both sobering and inspiring, their voices remind us that while the fight against AIDS is not over, we are not alone in our struggle.
