A night of queer short films, conversation and connection as part of a new short film night hosted by Film Hub North bringing together bold, brilliant stories from Northern filmmakers.
Funny, tender, messy, provocative, frightening, and deeply human, this programme’s focus is on queer stories. From forbidden feelings and complicated families to toxic love, identity, desire and the unexpected places we find each other, these films put queer voices front and centre.
With an in-person Q&A with Stuart Armstrong, director of Meat Raffle.
