Description
Pictures and videos

A selection of films from the 7th edition of Queer Wave, exploring the relationship between performance and performativity. Objects, bodies, individuals, collectives and artists engage with questions of confidence, gender, sexuality and belonging, alongside the normalisation of a genocide and acts of resistance against the forces that constrain us.

Queer Wave is Cyprus’s LGBTQIA+ Film Festival. It began in 2020 with a pilot online edition, responding to the need for connection and shared experiences during a period of isolation. Its mission is to celebrate, empower, challenge and inspire, both within and beyond queer communities, creating new perspectives through cinema and the arts. By its seventh edition in 2026, the festival had presented more than 300 LGBTQIA+ films from around the world in their Cyprus premieres. Through activities in Nicosia, south and north of the Green Line, within the buffer zone and in other parts of Cyprus, Queer Wave aims to bring communities closer together — one film at a time.

Los Angeles, 3036 A.D. Humanity is on the verge of extinction, and the world is now ruled by… trash. Tuna Tartare, a flamboyant can of tuna, runs the THROATS karaoke bar alongside her best friend Susan, a counterfeit Louis Vuitton handbag crippled by anxiety. When she learns of the death of the last surviving human, Tuna is forced to confront an embarrassing brush with fame that sends her on a journey to overcome her insecurities and rediscover what she does best: karaoke.

Starring Alan Cumming and Jack Wolfe, Kiloran Bay is a musical short set against the wild beauty of Scotland’s Hebrides and the exuberance of a wedding céilidh. A moving story of queer joy and self-acceptance, it follows a man returning to his hometown, where he confronts the forces that once drove him away.

A portrait of three young women: Luna Alyaan, a young violinist from Gaza killed by an Elbit drone; Eden Golan, the singer who represented Israel at Eurovision 2024; and Greta Thunberg, who led protests surrounding Eurovision. Through dark satire, humour and pop culture, the film examines the weaponisation of song, the Eurovision boycott, and the Dump Elbit campaign.

The political performances of Andro Dadiani confront the oppression imposed by the state and church in Georgia, transforming the streets of Tbilisi into stages of resistance. As a queer, non-binary protest and performance artist, Andro conceals their identity, revealing the risks and consequences of open resistance.

Content note: Sexual content (15+).

Our Joyful Endings follows the diary of a transmasculine person as their relationship with their body—and the way others perceive it—evolves throughout their transition. Moving through desire, uncertainty and self-reflection, the film traces the gradual emergence of comfort and intimacy within a community of shared experience.
