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.
What if everything you were taught about what is “natural” was only part of the story?
Narrated by Elliot Page, Second Nature takes us into the wonderfully diverse world of animal behaviour, where same-sex relationships, same-sex parenting, changing sex and matriarchal societies challenge long-held assumptions about gender and sexuality.
From bonobos and dolphins to penguins, albatrosses and lions, nature is far queerer than many of us were ever taught. Surprising, uplifting and empowering, Second Nature asks what might change if we understood from an early age that diversity isn't against nature. It is everywhere within it.
Everything you didn't learn in high school biology.
This screening is partnered with SapphicIFF as part of a wider impact campaign this film is undertaking to raise money to support trans youth at risk of suicide. Tickets are £15 and £5 from every ticket sold will go directly to this campaign.
