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.
Chimère
Milad (18), who recently moved to the city, receives a visit from his girlfriend Sali and her sister Elena on an autumn day. During an innocent walk in the park, a group of men dressed in raincoats suddenly appears on the horizon. When they send their fierce-looking dogs after the trio, Milad flees—after a wild chase—into a seemingly abandoned building. This is the beginning of an adventure of derailed reality, balancing between dream and nightmare.
