Where Are All the Gay Superheroes (15) - 2024 Opening Night Dir: Tom Paul Martin. UK. 2023. 15 mins. 

An LGBTQIA+ crowd-pleaser, combining elements of sci-fi, drama and comedy.

The suits come off, but when old tensions and old enemies return, our “heroes” learn the dark truth about who they are underneath.

End of summer on the Breton coast. Oscar invites his group of friends to spend a week’s vacation at his grandparent’s house.

The story is about their meeting, which will turn everything upside down. 

Teth (15) - 2024 Opening Night Dir: Peter Darney. Wales. 2024. 12 mins.
