Lesbian Space Princess (MA 15+)

The introverted Princess Saira, daughter of the flamboyant lesbian Queens of planet Clitopolis, is devastated when her girlfriend, the bounty hunter Kiki, suddenly breaks up with her for being too needy. When Kiki is kidnapped by the Straight White Maliens – forgotten incels of the future – Saira must leave the comforts of gay space to deliver the requested ransom: her Royal Labrys, the most powerful weapon known to lesbian kind. The only problem is… Saira doesn’t have it! With just a 24-hour window to get the weapon and save Kiki, Saira finds herself on an inter-gay-lactic journey of self-discovery which includes encounters with a problematic spaceship and a new-found friendship with gay-pop runaway Willow.

An animated comedy like no other, Lesbian Space Princess is a riotous, candy-coloured joy from start to finish: a locally made animation by emerging creatives that embraces LGBTQIA+ and culturally diverse voices, on and off-screen.

★★★★ "This is the queer animated scifi musical comedy you’ve been looking for." QUEER REVIEW

★★★★ "There’s an anarchic silliness about it which suits the science fiction setting, an openness to having fun and delivering a story unselfconsciously, on its own terms" EYE FOR FILM

★★★★ "Sometimes, an animated film comes along that feels like it was tailor-made to be a cult classic. [...] A wildly absurd, unapologetically queer sci-fi adventure that doubles as a hilarious and heartfelt journey of self-discovery" LOUD AND CLEAR

"Bouncing from brilliantly conceived oddball planet to planet, Lesbian Space Princess is a frenetic, fun adventure where the jokes – both visual and verbal – make landfall at an astounding rate" SCREENHUB
