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.

In 2001, a brash group of teenagers took professional paintball by storm, winning The World Cup of Paintball. San Diego Dynasty has created a dominance like no other in paintball, winning at least one professional tournament every year since. But all things must end, and a season filled with bad luck, controversial officiating, industry politics, health issues, and one of paintball’s biggest icons deciding to step away from U.S pro circuit to find himself living abroad puts Dynasty’s hope of a 15th consecutive season with a tournament victory in jeopardy.

The most impressive aspect of this film is the honest and natural performances given by the on-screen duo.
Emily Henry’s adaptation reaches romance movie standards, but not romance reader standards.
'Jungle Cruise' is fun if you can ignore the racism of the ride it’s based on and the film’s bland, stereotypical characters.
Produced by Vanguard Animation and released on Netflix, this animated fairytale movie has a lot of ironies as the story is told by the prince himself.
This inspiring true story falls nothing short of filling the audience with a passion to strive for their wildest dreams.
