Reel Queer: Lesbian Space Princess

Directed by Leela Varghese, Emma Hough Hobbs
Starring Shabana Azeez, Bernie Van Tiel, Jordan Raskopoulos, Madeleine Sami, Reuben Kaye

A laugh-out-loud adventure through the far reaches of queer outer space, Lesbian Space Princess showcases the incredible talents of South Australian writers/ directors, Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs.

Daughter to the flamboyant lesbian Queens of Planet Clitopolis, introverted Princess Saira is devastated when her bounty-hunter girlfriend, Kiki, suddenly breaks up with her for being too needy. After Kiki is kidnapped by forgotten incels of the future, the Straight White Maliens, Saira must leave the comforts of gay space to deliver their ransom: her royal labrys (the most powerful weapon known to lesbian kind). Only problem is… she doesn’t have it! With just a 24-hour window to get her labrys and save Kiki, Princess Saira finds herself on an inter-gay-lactic journey of self-discovery that includes encounters with a problematic spaceship and a new-found friendship with gay-pop runaway Willow.

Join Reel Queer after the film for a relaxed post-screening discussion in The Kitchen at Storyhouse.

An animated comedy like no other, Lesbian Space Princess is a riotous, candy-coloured joy from start to finish.
