Inner Jellyfishes

Inner Jellyfishes is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Marc-Antoine Lemire and released in 2015. The film stars Rudi Duperré as a young gay man struggling with feelings of isolation who hooks up with another man for sex, but finds that the encounter intensifies rather than assuaging his loneliness as he experiences a desire for a deeper emotional connection than the hookup is willing or able to offer.
The film's screenings included the 2015 Image+Nation festival and the 2015 San Francisco International Festival of Short Films, where it won the Vanguard Award. It was screened at BFI Flare in 2016 as part of a program of films about chemsex, with the website The Conversation praising it as one of the only films in the program that did not moralize about the practice.
