Screening of the Norwich Film Festival 2026 LGBTQ+ shorts, exploring identity and the LGBTQIA+ community, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.
LGBTQ+ Shorts comes to Phoenix Picturehouse on Tuesday 10 November, as part of the Norwich Film Festival 2026. It's a screening of this year's eclectic collection of LGBTQ+ shorts, which together explore identity, relationships and the LGBTQIA+ community. The session runs for 135 minutes, so it's a fair chunk of an evening rather than a quick stop.
What makes it work as a night out is what happens after the films. Once the shorts have finished, there's a Q&A with the festival's diverse filmmakers, so you get to hear from the people behind the work and ask your own questions. It's a good chance to see how different voices approach the same themes, and to get a bit of the inside story on how these films came together.
The whole thing is presented by the Norwich Film Festival 2026, and it carries an 18 certificate, so keep that in mind if you're thinking of bringing anyone younger. The venue is Phoenix Picturehouse, a century-old Oxford cinema with two screens and a friendly upstairs bar, so there's plenty of room to grab a drink before or after.

One practical thing to know: the festival sells tickets as unallocated seating, so you'll take whatever's free when you arrive rather than having a reserved seat. There are limited wheelchair spaces available, too. The session runs for 135 minutes in total, and the 18 certificate applies to the whole thing.
