Set in a gaylaxy far, far away, Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese’s debut is an animated Sapphic sci-fi romp for adults and a colourful quest for queer self-love. 

A 23-year-old with extreme self-esteem issues, Princess Saira (Shabana Azeez) has just been dumped by her daredevil girlfriend Kiki (Bernie Van Tiel) for being too needy. Oh no! 

Her sulking takes a turn when Kiki calls with a cry for help: She’s been kidnapped by a ghastly misogynist group known as the Straight While Maliens – forgotten incels of the future. 

The ransom? One of the most powerful weapons known to lesbian kind. The only problem is, Saira doesn’t have it… 

 Lesbian Space Princess trails Saira’s odyssey through the galaxies (travelling aboard the sentient ‘Problematic Ship’) to save her girl, from life-threatening missions to meeting gay pop idols. 

The result is a poppy, laugh-out-loud crowd-pleaser, an animated queer comedy slash musical that won the Teddy Award at this year’s Berlin Film Festival. 

Introduced by Anna Maria Nabirye as part of Pride Month in partnership with Peccadillo Pictures
