First Impressions, Lasting Connections: Date Night Shorts

Finding true love is hard but falling in love with these shorts is easy. This program brings the romance with stories of queer angels coaxing together the perfect match and awkward first dates that bloom into relationships.

Short films showing in this program:

Divine Intervention

17 mins

To get the promotion of their dreams, a mischievous earth-bound angel must get two ex-best friends to finally admit their love to each other.

Hold Me Close

19 mins

A study of a Black queer couple told through intimate voice recordings documented over the course of a season.

I’m the Most Racist Person I Know

13 mins

When Lali unexpectedly ends up on a date with another woman of colour for the first time, it unravels prejudices she has long ignored.

An Odd Turn

22 mins

A vision of an art theft, a fortuitous pendulum reading, and a high-stakes bet set museum security guard Lucrecia off on unexpected misadventures involving a new romance, currency exchanges, bisexual threesomes, and mindless temp work. Winner of the Golden Bear for Best Short at the 2024 Berlinale.
