A Different Home (Country: UK; Year: 2024; Director: Jules Lacave-Fontourcy)
Where is “home” for queer people who live in a city but grew up rural? This documentary explores the tensions between craving rural life and thriving in urban queer communities while feeling alienated from both. Visually rooted to the land, this film reflects on what it means to grieve a home which remains but does not welcome one as who one is.
A Float (Country: Denmark, UK; Year: 2023; Director: Isabel Barfod; Writer: Isabel Barfod)
Explores subtle modes of refusal through the lens of a Black queer swimmer in a hostile environment.
Hot Young Geek Seeks Bloodsucking Freak (Country: UK; Year: 2024; Director: Heath Virgoe)
When best friends Max and Ricky find themselves the prey of an angry vampire, they must ditch their Halloween plans to hide out at home. But when a forgotten pizza delivery shows up, can they risk letting the driver in? Can they stop arguing with each other? And can Max find the courage to face the one thing worse than death – coming out?
In Our Millions (Country: UK; Year: 2023; Director: Meli Vasiloudes Bayada, Ally Lloyd, Esme Haddrill Selman)

A Tight Five Hours (Country: UK; Year: 2024; Director: Ewan McPherson)
As the queer comic Ewan McPherson battles his stammer while performing live, a worker inside his brain tries frantically to prevent the damage caused by negative thoughts by recalling memories of interviews with fellow queer performers and promoters.
