NCHGS’s Museum and a Movie series showcases independent, international, and historical short films relevant to our museum exhibits and the communities we serve.

June 2024’s feature is Into Light, a 2021 film that chronicles the journeys of a mother and her child as they explore the complexities of gender identity. When a child reveals who they truly are on the inside, how does a parent set aside their own expectations to help them become their most authentic self?

Directed and written by Sheona McDonald, Into Light received numerous awards and distinctions, including the Jury Prize for Best Short at the Queer Film Festival in Seattle, and Winning Documentary – International Fragments at the International Documentary Film Festival in Mexico City.

Into Light is 20 minutes in length and will be shown at 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, & 3:00 PM in the John R. Austen Auditorium of the Sigal Museum.
