Watchlist: The Lesbian Perspective
Love in all its forms deserves a stage, to be seen heard and cherished. Lesbian films tell stories that often fade into the background of mainstream media. The Roze Filmdagen presents 115 films this year, a rich collection of stories waiting to be discovered. To guide you through this sea of cinema, we’ve curated a selection that explores the complexity of sapphic love. A theme that has been underrepresented for too long now deserves its moment in the spotlight. In honor of Women’s Month, we celebrate "The Lesbian Perspective" and create space for WLW stories.
Six very close girlfriends gather at a lakehouse in beautiful Nova Scotia to attend a ‘Good Riddance’ party in honour of a divorce of one of them.

A lively, delightful queer comedy that celebrates friendship, freedom and joy.
