Peccadillo Pictures are the leading UK distributor of LGBTQ+ films. We have teamed up with them to curate a collection of shorts which chronicle aspects of the LGBTQ+ experience in Britain and around the world, focusing on youth-centred issues including coming out, young romance, bullying, as well as providing a celebration of queer representation. The collection demonstrates the extraordinary progress made around the world for LGBTQ+ rights, but also highlights how much work there is still to do.
