There are two French films featured at the Queer Screen Film Fest this year.

Fresh from its world premiere at Tribeca, Marinette is a moving journey into the life of French soccer legend Marinette Pichon.

And Lie with Me, which sensitively explores the bittersweet intensity of first love and making peace with the past.

We often feature films from Asia and this year is no exception.

We have Monster from Japan, a gripping drama directed by acclaimed filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda. A twisty and deeply human exploration of truth and perception. Winner of the prestigious Queer Palm and Best Screenplay awards at Cannes.

And Peafowl from South Korea. A drama about a trans woman’s journey of self-discovery. Guided by the spirit of a peafowl, she confronts her past and finds hope and acceptance in unexpected places.

There are two German films featured at the festival this year.

Sexuality and vulnerability collide in Drifter, an exploration of queer identity set in multicultural Berlin.

And, based on a best-selling German young adult novel, Center of My World is a captivating coming-of-age romance.

There are three films from the UK featured, including our Opening Night film Blue Jean following a dedicated teacher living a double life in Thatcher-era England.

Plus, Medusa Deluxe, a unique, campy film about a hairstyling competition where the stakes are high and the hairstyles are even higher!
