About CLOSETS is an interesting, unusual film with a sci-fi twist. It features a tormented 16 year old boy called Henry who, on 12 March 1986, time travels through his bedroom closet and meets up with a similar present day teenager, Ben, occupying his same bedroom 30 years later. Ben and Henry's developing friendship highlights past and present-day issues facing young gay teenagers. While our society's attitudes towards LGBTs has improved dramatically over the past three decades, Ben and Henry's story shows that confusion about sexual identity and homophobic bullying, can still result in self harming and suicidal intentions. These two teenagers from different time zones develop a deep friendship offering each support and optimism for the future. This is an unusual, compassionate and ultimately uplifting story, peppered with sorrow, humour and hope.

Teenagers Sam and Sam meet every week on the playground swings to avoid their home lives and find some solace in one another.

2016 and a night in a gay sauna turns into a fight for survival, while a relationship of a different kind becomes heated on a night out in London’s Soho. In 1962 literary revelations strike two men sitting on a park bench speaking Polari and a 80s teenager time-travels into the future through his bedroom closet. Back to the present and London’s chemsex scene is put into perspective during one night at a chill-out party. While in 1976 sexual adventures await those who gorge on corduroy with his queer materials in Sir John’s Trouser Bar.

A must-see northern comedy-drama that dissects a toxic relationship with humor and raw emotion. Inspired by real heartbreak, this Manchester-made feature follows Benji, who meets the elusive and dominant Jake at an airport check-out gate. What begins as thrilling monthly getaways to Amsterdam soon unravels into a doomed power dynamic. Struggling to move on after being dumped, Benji spirals into addiction and fleeting hook-ups, haunted by the love he lost. Created by a collective of working-class LGBT+ filmmakers, Departures is a darkly comic, emotionally charged journey—think Shirley Valentine meets LGBTQ Trainspotting.
