There are so many rad films in this year’s line-up! How do you decide? Let us peer-pressure you into sitting beside us to watch these stand-out films. 

• Appropriate Behaviour

  By Sad Magazine

  Some say she’s the queer Lena Dunham, Desiree Akhavan (known for the web series The Slope) presents her outrageously funny and irreverent debut feature. 

• A Street in Palermo

  By Sad Magazine

  Absurdly funny, A Street in Palermo is saturated with pitch-black humour and satire. And lesbians, italian lesbians. 

• Crashing the Porn Party

  By Sad Magazine

  Erotic shorts of the lesbian-persuasion. You’ll wanna crash this party and stay the night. 

• Bad Hair (Pelo Malo)

  By Sad Magazine

  Hey, if the folks at the San Sebastian Film Festival loved it, odds are, so will we. Junior wants to straighten his hair, so let him be a star already. 

• Boys (Jongens)

  By Sad Magazine

  Sun-drenched cinematography + 2 teenage boys from the Netherlands = MAGIC

• I Feel Like Disco

  By Sad Magazine

  Slightly socially awkward German boy likes to dance to his favourite German disco star with his mother. Sounds adorable to me. Disco-fuelled coming of age story. Guilty pleasure. 

• Love is Strange

  By Sad Magazine

  John Lithgow. John Lithgow. John Lithgow. A tender tale of love in the big city between big ol’ gays in smart suit-jackets. We’ll save you a seat. 

• The Coast Is Queer

  By Sad Magazine

  A festival favourite which is THE must-see for all festival goers. Not as many lady-filmmakers on the bill as we would like to see, but you can always google Queers in Canoes. 

• Of Girls and Horses

  By Sad Magazine

  I really wish that I didn’t want to see this film, but I secretly love ponies, summertime, and gorgeous wide-shots of the German countryside.  

• GIRLTRASH: All Night Long

  By Sad Magazine

  The Closing Gala film–you can’t miss it. Music, parties, and babes. Don’t miss the latern-lit procession to the Closing party at Junction Pub. Follow the Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence.
