21 – 31 March 2019
The world’s widest-reaching LGBTQ+ digital campaign returns from 21 to 31 March 2019.
The British Council, in partnership with BFI Flare: London LGBTQ+ Film Festival, makes five LGBTQ+ themed short films available for the world to watch online for free, over an 11-day period each year.
The programme, which features work by emerging filmmakers from across the world, is selected from and coincides with BFI Flare. Through our global network in more than 100 countries, we encourage people to watch the films in solidarity with LGBTQ+ communities in places where freedom and equal rights are limited.
We ask audiences to share the films using the hashtag #FiveFilms4Freedom in recognition of the fact that Love is a Human Right.
Running since 2015, the programme has seen more than 10 million people viewing one of the films in more than 200 countries and principalities, including many parts of the world where homosexuality is criminalised, and in some cases, punishable by the death penalty.
The films will be available from 21 March here: https://www.britishcouncil.org/arts/fivefilms4freedom

1.5 per cent of people are born with an anatomy that doesn’t fit typical definitions of female or male.
