Queer Flicks is a series of LGBTIQA+ film favourites presented in a welcoming space for community connection.

To celebrate the inaugural Queer Flicks, we are joined by co-director of Lesbian Space Princess Leela Varghese. Come early for a meet and greet with Leela and stay for a post-screening Q&A. Queer Flicks continues on the first Thursday of every month.

‘A colourful and life-affirming crowd pleaser.’ - Boyd van HoeijScreen Daily

  • 6:00 PM - Doors open for drinks, mingling and meet & greet. 
  • 7:00 PM - Film screening followed by Q&A

Set in a bright galaxy where queerness is neither hidden nor secondary, Lesbian Space Princess follows a young royal adrift between cosmic duty and personal desire.

With humour and invention, the film reframes science fiction as a space for queer self‑determination. With camp energy and heart, it blends space opera spectacle with offbeat humour and queer coming-of-age charm.

More Coverage

Lesbian Space Princess is a bold, hilarious, and deeply affirming animated sci-fi that flips the genre on its head. Pink-hued galaxies, incel villains called the Straight White Maliens, queer in-jokes, indie songs, and a heroine learning that self-love matters more than chasing the wrong crush.
