Everyone is welcome at Reel Queer, your monthly LGBTQIA+ cinema club celebrating queer stories, iconic filmmakers and unforgettable big-screen experiences from just £4 a ticket!

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!

And so the most anxious, self-doubting princess in the GAY-laxy must climb aboard a deeply problematic spaceship, pick up a fabulous gay-pop runaway and hurtle across queer space on the most chaotic rescue mission ever attempted to save her ex.

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