Curator’s note

The best LGBTQ+ short films, free to watch.

LGBTQ+ stories live in the moment someone stops pretending, and short films catch that turn better than anything longer. One look, one decision, one person finally taking up space. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Queer lives told without apology.

Boy follows Emilie, born a girl but always a boy inside, and Him & Her watches highschool sweethearts hit a crossroads as Alex starts embracing himself. Other Half sits with Ren longing to find their other half and become complete, while Hey You asks whether who's top or bottom is really all there is to worry about.

The best LGBTQ+ short films make room for the whole person. Land's End casts Joseph Mawle (Rings of Power, Game of Thrones) in a cinematic tale about running away, and Out To Run: A Tale of Blood Velvet follows a gay couple attacked because they taste the best. Hand-picked by our editors and free in all 193 countries, no subscription and no sign-up. Press play, and come as you are.
