He has written, directed, and edited over a dozen short films including: The Taking of Jordan (22), His Smell (23), and Victim of Circumstance (24). His films often explore themes of identity and desire, memory, and alienation. “The work of Kalil Haddad is radical in form and provocation. He distorts lo-fi footage to flesh out material analyses of queer subjectivities. His work blends archival, experimental, documentary, and narrative elements that allow for a making and remaking of archival text. Seeking history as a ruin of resources, he unveils materialist truths concerning the connection between sexuality, gender, race, and class exploitation. Haddad revels in the radical possibilities of grainy schlock and lifts untold stories from the conditions of our desires.” -- Wilde Davis, Los Angeles Film Forum  UPCOMING SCREENINGS “He Never Dies” tourSpectacle TheatreBrooklyn, July 18 [with Q&A]TicketsFilmForumLos Angeles, July 27 [with Q&A]TicketsThe Art TheatreLong Beach, July 29 [with Q&A]TicketsSpectacle TheatreBrooklyn, July 29TicketsMetro CinemaEdmonton, July 31 [with Virtual Q&A]TicketsFestivals“Victim of Circumstance”Long Beach Underground Film FestivalLong Beach, July 19Tickets“Victim of Circumstance”Fantasia International Film FestivalMontreal, August 3Tickets FILMOGRAPHY Victim of Circumstance 2024 | 20:32 | English The Boy Was Found Unharmed 2024 | 2:32 | English Muscle Monsters 2023 | 4:39 | English Paul and Eileen Had Four Children 2023 | 11:51 | English His Smell 2023 | 13:54 | English The Taking of Jordan (All American Boy) 2022 | 7:39 | English Vampires Drink Blood...
