videoclub presents Shoreham Queer Film Trails – a series of three free outdoor screenings bringing bold, intimate and imaginative LGBTQIA+ moving image works into the public spaces of Shoreham.
Across animation, documentary, experimental film and poetic fiction, the programme gathers artists from across the globe who explore identity, memory, technology, grief and desire through personal and political lenses. The curated films foreground bodies and lives often marginalised or made invisible – offering space for complexity, tenderness and defiance.
Projected onto buildings and unexpected surfaces around central Shoreham at night, these films create a shared public encounter with queer storytelling – inviting audiences to walk together, pause together, and experience the town as a site of collective imagination and reflection.
Booking and meeting locations for screenings
There are three film trails on three different dates – each trail has different films and a different route. We will be giving out information about the films on each trail on the evening as a handout.

About Shoreham outdoor Queer film trail
The film trails have been co-curated by videoclub and young people at Esteem Youth Group. A call out for films by UK and international Queer artists and filmmakers was published in December 2025, which resulted in 400 films being submitted for the opportunity. 15 films have been selected from the submissions, with five different films appearing across three film trails.
An exhibition of the films will happen at Colonnade House in Worthing between 25 May and 8 June.
This project is supported by Arts Council England.
