      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Now seeking community support via Kickstarter, Our Forbidden Country is a stop-motion animated feature film about Queer culture and the Queer community.</p><p>Seattle, WA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/11/2018 --  Clyde Peterson, a Seattle-based artist working in <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="film and animation" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clydepetersen/our-forbidden-country-an-animated-history-of-queer">film and animation</a>, and director of Torrey Pines, is excited to announce his latest feature film, Our Forbidden Country. Our Forbidden Country a stop-motion animated feature film about Queer culture, community, and cruising.<br />
<br />
Influenced by the writings of historic and contemporary GLBTQI authors, with a focus on stories surrounding the queer community, Our Forbidden Country touches on topics of secret and forbidden love and sex, and the lives of hustlers and impact of AIDS and other historic events. Using written materials and firsthand accounts, Peterson unearths remnants of gay culture formerly underground and explores the loss of an entire generation of vibrant queer artists in our "beyond the closet" society.<br />
