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 Smoke that Thunders
In one of the most beautiful and captivating corners of the planet—between the majestic Victoria Falls and the mighty waters of the Zambezi River—the human–wildlife conflict has reached alarming levels. Elephants, baboons, crocodiles, and other dangerous species are leaving protected areas and venturing into the city in search of food. At the same time, some residents of Livingstone are entering Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, setting snares or attempting to defend themselves from attacks by wild animals.
