Words fail me in trying to describe my friends’ incredible documentary feature #film Out Laws, which had its premiere at the #BFI #Flare #lgbt film festival on Monday & was shown again in NFT 1 this morning.

Such an important, serious subject told in such a joyful, powerful way. I am in awe of their achievement.

Out Laws | BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival 2026

BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival 2026

A new YouTube channel by the director of Brass Eye (among other gems), the King Rocker film, and (I think) Matt Berry's music videos. It should be worth keeping an eye on.

It's got unseen Brass Eye and Snuff Box outtakes already alongside some awesome test trade transmissions that are folk art masterpieces.
