Celebrating local LGBTQ+ filmmakers, First Take is proud to present an hour long screening of shorts & micro-shorts made in collaboration with queer artists across Liverpool as part of their REEL QUEER programme.
From Sci Fi to Horror, aliens to clowns, sapphic love stories to puppets debating the questions of the universe, this collection of shorts encapsulates queerness in all its kaleidoscopic forms. This event will be followed by a Q&A.
