The programme will of course have an LGBTQI+ theme all the way throughout, aiming to put a spotlight on themes that aren't seen as much in mainstream film.
Screening as part of Rainbow Shorts is 'I Live Here' by Shane Watson, a 2017 Student Academy Awards finalist. Shane is a recent graduate of the Master's Film programme at California College Of The Arts and will be attending Flickerfest for Rainbow Shorts!
