Bristol Pride presents the launch of a brand new film festival - Queer Vision - with fresh, exciting partnerships and even more truly inspiring award winning films to watch on the big screen.

Curated by Bristol Pride, Queer Vision strives to bring you the very best and latest feature film releases in LGBT+ cinema, now with the addition of award-winning short films and animation that will screen throughout the year.

Queer Vision launches on Sat 25 and Sun 26 April with three short film programmes showcasing a unique selection of funny, touching, shocking and insightful shorts from Cardiff’s Iris Prize LGBT film festival. Be sure to check out the The Love of Men on Sun 26 April and Iris Prize on Sat 25 April.
