Event Description

Join us for a weekend of queer short film screenings that bring into focus stories of identity, resistance, joy, and community from across the country. Through intimate and thought-provoking narratives, these films explore the realities of queer lives, reflecting on visibility, belonging, resilience, and self-expression in a time marked by increasing invisibilisation and protest.

Spanning diverse experiences and perspectives, the screenings invite audiences to engage with stories that challenge silence and reclaim space through the power of storytelling. Accompanied by conversations and reflections with speakers and community voices, the programme creates space for dialogue rooted in solidarity, and queer joy.

The film list will be announced shortly.

This programme is part of LGBTQIA+ programming and is an attempt to amplify narratives from within the queer community through film, dialogue, and collective reflection.
