Safflicks LGBT History Month Event

Join us to watch and discuss this collection of short films. 4 of the 11 films showing at this year’s Safflicks LGBT History Month Film Festival on Lesflicks. The films come from the UK, USA and China – offering an interesting variety of views, experiences and stories of sapphic life. From old to young; documentary to romance. These films are bound to spark an interesting conversation.

Come and join other like-minded women who share an interest in authentic sapphic stories. Whether you’re looking to make new friends, meet a potential future partner, or share this experience with friends – this event will offer an entertaining afternoon in a safe space.

Collection Description: A collection of Curator’s picks in short film from this year’s festival

Films: Ghosted, Bookmarks, Flag Act, The Night

Duration: 56 mins, 58 seconds

Sunday 25 February
4.30pm – doors open
5pm – films screen
6pm – post film chat and food

Tickets are available with or without food included. The venue has a great roast dinner menu including vegan and vegetarian options. We want to create a safe space to socialise, enjoy some lesbian and bisexual short films, chat and meet.

The films do not currently have captions, but if we receive any subtitles requests for ticketholders before 20 February then we will create subtitles.

The films will be projected onto a screen and have small speakers.

We want this to be intimate and enjoyable so will be keeping the event to a small group of 20-30 women (and allies as guests). The event is trans and non-binary friendly, but we ask that core ticketholders be female/sapphic presenting or identifying and allies come as guests to ensure that this space remains primarily available for sapphic women. Transphobia, biphobia and homophobia will not be tolerated.

Tickets are on sale from 6 February 2024 and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
