Lesbian Space Princess Gets UK Preview Events This June
Just in time for Pride Month, the LGBTQ+ themed sci-fi comedy Lesbian Space Princess comes to the big screen in the UK and Ireland. And throughout the month, Peccadillo Pictures will host special preview events at venues across the country.
Lesbian Space Princess is written and directed by Australian filmmakers Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs. The film showcases LGBTQ+ talent and culturally diverse voices both on and off screen.
In the film, the eponymous Lesbian Space Princess, Princess Saira is suddenly dumped by her Bounty Hunter girlfriend Kiki, for being too needy. But when Kiki is kidnapped by the Straight White Malians, Saira must leave the comforts of gay space to deliver the ransom...her royal labrys (the most powerful weapon known to lesbian kind). The only problem is.. she doesn't have it!
With just 24 hours to find her labrys and rescue Kiki, Princess Saira finds herself on an inter-gay-lactic adventure that includes an encounter with a problematic spaceship and a growing friendship with gay-pop runaway Willow.
The film features the voices of Shabana Azeez, Bernie Van Tiel , Gemma Chua Tran , Aunty Donna, Richard Roxburgh, Jordan Raskopolous, Madeleine Sami and Kween Kong .
Lesbian Space Princess will be in UK and Irish cinemas from June 19, but there will be a chance to catch the film early, along with some live entertainment at several venues across the UK.
