Autumn is here, and hibernation is imminent – don’t hideaway just yet though, because queer performance and events group Wotever World are showcasing a fantastic line up of film events over the coming weeks.
The events, hosted by the Wotever DIY Film Festival (WDIYFF), are taking place as a part of the British Film Institute’s LOVE season. Based in London, Wotever aims to create a safe space for everyone with their events.
“Respect and welcome to one and all. No matter what identity, or multiple identities, any person may have or choose, Wotever welcomes them. This includes (but certainly is not exclusive to) : drag kings, queers, women, mtf, femmes, trans, butches, queerbois, gay, drag queens, dykes, bisexuals, ftm, men, straight..”
