Safflicks Film Festival: Where We Belong

The Safflicks Film Festival is a hybrid celebration of award-winning sapphic cinema, taking place throughout October in partnership with venues and organisations in London, alongside a virtual programme on Lesflicks 10-23 October. Carefully curated to connect films with the audiences and communities they resonate with most, this year's programme explores coming out, identity, family, relationships, faith, feminism, biodiversity and belonging. Coinciding with International Coming Out Day, Safflicks brings people together through powerful storytelling, meaningful conversations and authentic WLW and LGBTQ+ representation, both on screen and beyond.

Home isn't always where we're born. These powerful documentaries explore acceptance, chosen family and the places where people are free to live authentically.

Whether searching for acceptance across continents or creating a welcoming space for generations, these documentaries celebrate resilience, community and the universal need to belong.

Two Travelling Aunties (22 mins)
A Culinary Uprising: The Story of Bloodroot (1h 22 mins)

This screening is partnered with Kenric who will be hosting a post-screening social in the bar area.
