This week, FilmDoo is proud to announce the release of At First Glance, the latest in our ever-growing collection of queer short film compilations, offering female-focused stories from the regions of Australia, Spain, Italy, Germany, Norway and France.
To mark the occasion, we thought we’d take a look back at the exciting range of lesbian anthologies we’ve released over the years. In these compilations, we find a diverse selection of award-winning shorts, showcasing some of the rising talent of international and independent cinema, and the best part is that all of these works are available to watch right here on FilmDoo!
