The 6 Queer Short Films at Sundance 2026
Of the 28 total films I watched, just six of them were queer or featured queer characters in some way.

It's Kai Locks and Kyle Brant's 2nd year anniversary. Kai wants to do something special for Kyle so when Kyle comes home, he finds Kai naked holding a little cookie with a number 2 candle on it. Turns out Kyle wants to blow something else instead. While on a hike Mason Dean and Scott Finn kiss each other in nature. But to take things to the next level they head back home where things heat up real fast between them. Close your eyes and imagine the feel of a hot tongue tangle with yours. It leads down your neck, chest, and lower... This is twink Scott Finn's sensual afternoon as he and seductive Micah West tune out the world for an afternoon of steamy kissing, oral, rimming, and tight, bareback anal sex. Twink Scott Finn has a problem. He's hungry for a bite but with his wrist sprained, every little move is a heavy challenge. Lucky for him, bae Hayden Brier is home and ready to lend a helping hand. Looks like the mustard bottle isn't the only one getting a squeeze in this spicy fantasy.

Cursed is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel, and is a retelling of the Arthurian legend with a twist. Instead of King Arthur gaining Excalibur, a teenage sorceress named Nimue (Katherine Langford) does. Her people — the Fey — are being hunted down, and so Nimue will do whatever it takes to save them.
'Don't Make Me Go' is what you would expect, Wally and her father, Max, clash tremendously and don't understand each other. Although, it's very heartwarming.
Overall, The Shining is a great film to watch for its atmosphere and setting. While the characters’ portrayals could’ve been more accurate to the book, they’re all still memorable nonetheless.
Emily and Stephanie are back... just add gin and drama.
