Mylou Oord’s (Amstelveen, the Netherlands, 1987) QC-2020 is a film about the start of Queer Choir Amsterdam. Together with artists Shreya de Souza and Sarah Naqvi, Oord founded Queer Choir Amsterdam. It came about in the midst of a pandemic as a need for community. Singing in a choir helps one extend themselves, and get in sync and in tune with others. The process helps in creating a sense of engagement with other people, and establishes a rhythmical harmony between them. The film, which is far from being a documentary about the choir, explores their personal experiments of active resistance while creating an imaginary universe free of societal binaries and limitations.
