This year's BFI Flare, London's LGBTIQ+ Film Festival, announced their full programme. BFI Flare celebrates queer-identified film and filmmakers, especially those based in the UK. With special events, club nights, and of course film screenings, this year's “hug”-themed festival welcomes visitors and attendees to embrace all identities and intimacies alike.
While most titles in this year's BFI Flare line-up are from the US and UK, we've picked out the Asian films – feature and shorts alike. BFI Flare will take place at BFI Southbank from March 18-19.
