Peccadillo Pictures is over the moon to announce that Lesbian Space Princess will launch into UK & Irish cinemas from 19th June.
Lesbian Space Princess celebrated its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Teddy Award, before going on to win the Audience Award for “Best Australian Feature” at the Sydney Film Festival.
A laugh-out-loud adventure through the far reaches of queer outer space, Lesbian Space Princess showcases the incredible talents of South Australian writers/ directors, Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs.
Daughter to the flamboyant lesbian Queens of Planet Clitopolis, introverted Princess Saira is devastated when her bounty-hunter girlfriend, Kiki, suddenly breaks up with her for being too needy.
After Kiki is kidnapped by forgotten incels of the future, the Straight White Maliens, Saira must leave the comforts of gay space to deliver their ransom: her royal labrys (the most powerful weapon known to lesbian kind). Only problem is… she doesn’t have it!
With just a 24-hour window to get her labrys and save Kiki, Princess Saira finds herself on an inter-gay-lactic journey of self-discovery that 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: an animation by emerging creatives that embraces LGBTQIA+ and culturally diverse voices, on and off-screen.
