LSFF: You're A Red Flag

You’re A Red Flag waves high for all the warning signs we love to ignore - whether romantic, familial or professional.

From an argumentative ghost couple on the brink of collapse, to a woman meeting her online suitor with a very specific fetish; from a dinner date derailed by a non-human guest, to a mother–daughter Zoom call that unearths inherited traumas and toxic traits. Intersectional power dynamics unravel on camera, as well as behind it.

Featuring work starring Sam Spruell (Fargo) and the latest short from Gabriel Abrantes (Diamantino), this programme is one big, flashing emotional hazard sign.

The attending filmmakers will join us for a Q&A following the screening.
