BFI Flare: London LGBTIQ+ Film Festival

Join us for 12 days of the best new LGBTQIA+ cinema from around the world, special events and more.

The festival opens with the UK premiere of the coming-of-age drama Girl Picture in which Mimmi, Emma and Rönkkö are girls at the cusp of womanhood, trying to draw their own contours. Over three consecutive Fridays, two of them experience the earth-moving effects of falling in love, while the third goes on a quest to find something she’s never experienced: pleasure.

The festival closes with New Romantics documentary TRAMPS! This feature documentary looks at how an onslaught of art students arriving in London in the 1980s resulted in a unique cross-fertilisation of British art, fashion, music and film culminating in a group known as “The New Romantics”.
