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.
The Heroine
The Heroine (1967) was an unfinished and now-lost one-hour adaptation of an Isak Dinesen (Winter’s Tales, 1942) story, directed by Orson Welles. Conceived as part of a proposed anthology with The Immortal Story, the project was abandoned after a single day of filming in Budapest, and no surviving footage is known to exist.
