This movie is so fantastic. My favorite film this year at @framelinefestival.bsky.social. Coming to US theaters from @cineverse-ent.bsky.social on Halloween!
Aussie indie sci-fi comedy 'Lesbian Space Princess' will get a U.S. theatrical release on October 31. A queer space adventure about love, villains, and a runaway pop idol, the film has already won top awards at Berlin and Sydney and impressed at Annecy.

Saw @heightenedscrutinydoc.com at @framelinefestival.bsky.social last night. Appalling to see courts making decisions in cases attacking trans children based on media narratives, not facts or science. This film is urgent—watch it, share it, and keep fighting.
