Thirst
(Iceland, 90 mins)

Directed by Steinþór Hróar Steinþórsson & Gaukur Úlfarsson

Starring Hjörtur Sævar Steinason, Hulda Lind Kristinsdóttir, Jens Jensson

Somewhere in the frozen darkness of Reykjavík, something very old and very hungry has been waiting. For a thousand years, Hjörtur has lurked in the shadows — a gay vampire of considerable sass, and very specific appetites…

Meanwhile, Hulda is having the worst week of her life. A drug addict, freshly released from police custody following her brother’s suspicious death, she has nowhere to go and no one to turn to — until she meets Hjörtur. In what he almost certainly considers a friendly gesture, the ancient vampire resurrects her dead brother. It does not go well.

Now the two unlikely companions find themselves on the run — from a fanatical cult in purple tracksuits, a rogue detective, and the steadily mounting consequences of a thousand-year-old monster who simply does not know when to stop. The blood flows freely. The body count rises cheerfully. And somewhere in the neon-lit, gore-soaked chaos, an unlikely friendship is forged.

Some friendships are worth dying for. Repeatedly.

After a failed move to New York City leaves them kicked out of their new apartment due to Ben’s poor judgment, best friends Ben and Jordan return to Austin, Texas, emotionally and financially broken.
The pair make a desperate pact to spend an entire year living “rent free” by couch-surfing with friends, family, and strangers, navigating their complicated relationships and emotional codependence against the backdrop of their rapidly changing hometown.

A darkly funny, tenderly honest portrait of friendship, adulthood avoidance, and the rising cost of literally everything!

Lesvia
(Greece, 2024, 80 mins)

Director: Tzeli Hadjidimitriou

Since the late 1970s, women from across the globe have made a pilgrimage to the tiny Greek village of Skala Eressos on the island of Lesvos, drawn by the ancient legacy of the poet Sappho.

What began as a trickle of travellers became a thriving community — but one that also brought decades of tension and conflict with the conservative local villagers.

Filmmaker Tzeli Hadjidimitriou — a native of Lesvos and a lesbian herself — is uniquely placed to tell this story. Weaving together archival footage, personal testimony, and her own diary entries, she crafts a deeply moving portrait of two communities learning, over forty years, to share the same shoreline.

Maria’s Paradise
(Finland, 2019, 110 mins)

Director: Zaida Bergroth

Starring Pihla Viitala, Satu Tuuli Karhu, Saga Sarkola

Finland, 1927. Maria Åkerblom is magnetic, imperious, and utterly dangerous — a self-proclaimed prophet who has built a devoted flock of followers who have surrendered everything to her divine vision.

At the edges of this world lives Salome, a teenage orphan who has known no other life. When Maria draws her close, elevating her above the others, Salome’s world is turned upside down by a chance encounter with a girl from outside the cult — and for the first time, she dares to question everything.

Inspired by a true story. Some heavens are prisons in disguise.

Directed by Zaida Bergroth (Tove), this lush period drama features an intense emotional triangle at its heart.

Cast (voices): Shabana Azeez, Gemma Chua-Tran, Richard Roxburgh
Daughter to the flamboyant lesbian Queens of Planet Clitopolis, introverted Princess Saira is devastated when her bounty-hunter girlfriend, Kiki, suddenly breaks up with her for being too needy.

After Kiki is kidnapped by forgotten incels of the future, the Straight White Maliens, Saira must leave the comforts of gay space to deliver their ransom: her royal labrys (the most powerful weapon known to lesbian kind). Only problem is… she doesn’t have it!

And so the most anxious, self-doubting princess in the GAY-laxy must climb aboard a deeply problematic spaceship, pick up a fabulous gay-pop runaway and hurtle across queer space on the most chaotic rescue mission ever attempted to save her ex!

Multiple award-winning Lesbian Space Princess is a madcap animated adult queer comedy, written and directed by Emma Hough Hughes and Leela Varghese. Winner of the Teddy Award and a recent Nominee for seven Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards.
