Dive into the world of LGBTQIA+ cinema from the comfort of your home - wherever that is!

In partnership with BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival, we celebrate global LGBTQIA+ stories every year, in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual people across the world.

Share the love

You can join the global solidarity movement and watch the films online for free every March.
