Red Island

At the beginning of the 70s, in Madagascar, a few armed forces and their families live in one of the last French military bases abroad, a relic of the ending French colonial empire. Influenced by his reading of the intrepid comic book heroine Fantômette, Thomas, a ten-year-old boy, sweeps with a curious glance what surrounds him. Beneath the carefree expatriate life, his eyes are gradually opening to another reality.

Dune: Part Two

The saga continues as award-winning director Denis Villeneuve embarks on Dune: Part Two, the concluding chapter of Frank Herbert’s seminal 1965 novel.

In this epic second instalment, we return to the mythic journey of Paul Atreides, as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavours to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.

The Blue Caftan

Halim and Mina run a traditional caftan store in one of Morocco's oldest medinas. Demanding customers and Mina’s failing health cause them to hire Youssef, a talented apprentice. His presence challenges both the work and home life of Halim and Mina.

This gentle and deliberate drama shows the intricacies of unconditional love whilst navigating new relationship possibilities. This was the official submission of Morocco for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 95th Academy Awards in 2023.

Kokomo City

We're thrilled to be closing our festival with the award-winning documentary Kokomo City.

Filmmaker D. Smith interviews four black trans sex workers in Atlanta and New York City, offering an honest, entertaining, and unfiltered look into their daily lives. 

This film is boldly shot in black and white, and creatively produced to go beyond a standard talking heads film. It is challenging, funny, thought-provoking, and an overall awesome way to bring LQFF 2024 to a close.

Queer Gardening

This documentary examines what horticultures look like when binaries such as nature and culture, human and more-than-human, body and environment are deconstructed in creative ways.

Interviews of eighteen LGBTQIA+ gardeners about their relationships with plants and the land give glimpses of gardening as a resource, a form of resistance, and as places of world-making through alternative queer narratives, spiritualities and grieving rituals.
