Then, a selection of films from FilmPride’s programme:

Silent Pride

Dir: Kristy Philipps – 5:25, UK
Sammy can’t speak BSL. If she wants Ffion to stay she’ll have to find a new way to communicate, one which pushes her to confront feelings she’s suppressed since the day they met.

Punchline

On the eve of a transphobic attack, a transgender comedian processes her feeling the only way she knows how: through stand-up comedy.

I Know Her

Dir: Fawzia Mirza – 2:55, US
In the afterglow of a seemingly fated hookup, two women realize that perhaps they have a little too much in common.

Embrace

Dir: Latesha Merkel – 5:18, US
An animated short film about asexuality. It explores the common asexual experience of feeling isolated and confused by one’s own orientation, but also the joy that comes from knowing one’s self and connecting with the asexual community.

Octopus

Dir: Ella Glendining – 12:31, UK
Mini returns to the seaside town in which she grew up for the funeral of one of her closest friends, Frank. Frank’s death is beyond tragic, but not a complete surprise to those that knew him best. Having moved away and unexpectedly started a family, Mini is guilt-ridden that she hadn’t seen Frank in the year since she had her baby, a year which has been fraught with adjusting to her new identity as a mum.
TW: suicide, grief, depression

Very Slightly Included

Dir: Patricia Kelly – 10:30, Ireland
In this quirky dark comedy, Eva finally brings the perfect girlfriend home to meet her family. Well, she may have one very slight flaw…

SIA

Dir: Ashlei Shyne – 12:22, US
A poetic short film that follows Nola & Sia, a Black queer female couple whose vibrant life together is upended when a global pandemic threatens to tear apart their entire world.
TW: racism

The Secret Lives of Lesbians’ Cats

Dir: Kate Jessop – 1:38, UK
What do cats talk about when their owners aren’t around? What do they really think of their lesbian owners? The Secret Lives of Lesbians’ Cats is the new episode of Planet Pussy Willow, the feminist sci-fi development of the multi award winning comedy adult animation series Tales From Pussy Willow.

Minutes

Dirs: Alix Eve, Olivia Dowd – 14:00, UK
Minutes spans the entire relationship of Harriet and Jordan and is a queer ‘rom-com’ for our times. Developed via several devising and improv workshops, the film uses a series of vignettes to explore communication, co-dependency, self-exploration and queer joy.
