This is one of the treats for our audience. We will meet again.
We are hosting an additional screening with Q&A this Sunday, 19 April at 5pm at Arzner Cinema, featuring a selection of tender and powerful films from our 7th edition of OFN LGBTQIA+ Film Festival:
Picture by Calvin, directed by Giorgia Young (2 min). A short experimental documentary following Calvin as he finds connection through running in London, where movement becomes a way to feel less alone.
A Pride at St. James’s, directed by Michelle Deignan (8 min). Set during London Pride, this film captures a church opening its doors to celebration and reflection, where faith and queer identity meet.
I don’t know if I’ll have to say everything again, directed by Vitória Fallavena and Thassilo Weber (14 min). Fernando plans to tell his mother he is getting married, but her memory loss turns the moment into something fragile and uncertain.
4 Better or 4 Worse, directed by Ronjay C Fernandez Mendiola (17 min). Jennifer risks everything to live as her true self, while her chosen family steps in to support her survival.
Ranch, directed by Florence Bass (24 min). On the island of Lesbos, queer women gather in a space shaped by history, connection, and shared experience.
Join us for a screening and a drink afterwards.

Boys Night Out - Screening Block 14�
7th OFN LGBTQIA+ Film Festival�London, 7–11 April
A programme of queer male stories moving between connection, desire, memory, and fantasy.
Across the block, stories shift from quiet, intimate moments to more playful or unexpected directions.
