TICKETS & PROGRAM IN BIO

Out Laws is a powerful documentary that follows LGBTQIA+ activists from Namibia, Sri Lanka, and Barbados as they challenge colonial-era laws criminalizing queer individuals in over sixty countries. Filmed during a time of rising authoritarianism, it highlights the personal and legal struggles of three courageous individuals who are reshaping history.

The film unites its protagonists in London as they prepare for a landmark Pride event. Through storytelling and exploring archives, they confront the colonial roots of criminalization, creating a powerful narrative about solidarity, community, and reclaiming erased histories.

Out Laws highlights the urgent relevance of contemporary anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric globally, linking it to its colonial origins. The film explores how laws and moral panics were created to support empire and showcases the efforts of activists in the Global South working to dismantle these oppressive systems.

Support and solidarity from @outhouse_dublin and @lgbtireland_ie was important for making QSFF happened. taken in Irish Film Institute (IFI) by @lexipowner

🎥 Out Laws sigue a tres activistas queer mientras luchan por derogar las leyes de la era colonial que aún criminalizan sus vidas. La batalla se desarrolla en un momento de riesgo creciente: hay activistas siendo asesinadxs, iglesias y políticxs movilizándose contra los derechos LGBTQIA+, y actores extranjeros exportando odio al Sur Global. Desde tensas salas de tribunal hasta momentos privados de miedo y determinación, la película revela lo que significa resistir cuando el costo puede serlo todo.

Out Laws follows three queer activists as they fight to overturn the colonial-era laws that still criminalise their lives. The battle unfolds in a moment of escalating jeopardy: activists are being murdered, churches and politicians are mobilising against LGBTQIA+ rights, and foreign actors are exporting hate across the Global South. From tense courtrooms to private moments of fear and determination, the film reveals what it means to resist when the cost can be everything.

Criminalised for love. Fighting back with pride. ✊🏳️‍🌈

Official poster reveal for OUT LAWS, designed by the brilliant Sam Ashby. @samashbystudio

This film is a journey through the colonial roots of queer criminalisation and a celebration of the activists dismantling that legacy today. From the UK to Namibia and beyond, we’re unearthing history to secure a freer future.

✨ World Premiere: See us at BFI Flare (@britishfilminstitute) this March! 📍 Southbank, London.

Join Friedel Dausab, Rosanna Flamer-Caldera, and Raven Gill as they confront the laws meant to silence them. It’s time to rewrite the narrative.

Help us liberate this film for the countries that need it most. Link in bio to support our mission.

As a long time member of the dead dad club, I never thought father’s day was for me. So it was a joy to be part of this project and celebrate all our dads through memory. It was beautiful and comforting to listen to and find familiarity in the stories of @romyromyromy @seapa220 @danny_rankin
