One night only.

Look out for trans werewolves, lesbian coaching before a big date, outrageous set design and perfect lesbian and gay couple moments. This line-up is sure to delight.

For 100 min, sit back and relax laugh, cry, be moved, be inspired, be uplifted. This is an extraordinary program of shorts – you just won’t get to see these on the big screen anywhere else. I love running these events for my community because film is a powerful medium for inclusion, a powerful medium for storytelling.

This screening includes additional short films that were actually shot at the Victorian Pride Centre this February as part of the Midsumma ‘There’s a story in you‘ queer filmmaking workshop.

You can expect to watch fabulous films on the night, and then socialise afterwards in this cosy centre, right in the heart of St Kilda, with your fellow queer film puffs.
