Blossoming Wilt

Blossoming Wilt is a visually striking short film screening programme that delves into the delicate and often heartbreaking nature of queer love. Each film captures the fragility of relationships and the poignant moments of connection and separation, offering an evocative exploration of love's complexities. This programme presents a collection of films that depict the tender and vulnerable aspects of queer love, highlighting the beauty and pain that often accompany it. Through exquisite cinematography and heartfelt storytelling, these films offer a profound reflection on the transience and resilience of Queer love.
