Sapphic Shorts
Accidental broken arms, a (somehow unrelated) runaway rollerblade chase and passive-aggressive celebratory cakes punctuate this eclectic selection of sapphic tales.
Exploring everything from the innocence of school girl crushes and the stirring of newfound feelings whilst visiting Europe, to the awkwardness of avoiding questions about a long-term girlfriend’s absence at a family gathering, through to the breakdown of a long-term marriage and the tribulations of undergoing IVF whilst navigating a pandemic, this package of films is equal parts humorous, heartbreaking and heartwarming.
