DIR: Leela Varghese, Australia
Lali has written her crush a song but her lyrical efforts are awkwardly misplaced. Saved by Ana, the two end up on a date, where Lali is forced to confront her prejudices. Directed by Leela Varghese (Lesbian Space Princess), this SXSW Special Jury Award Winning short is charming, exuberant, and a dreamy feast for the ears and eyes. Filmed in Adelaide’s Marys Poppins bar, with a comedic sensibility and a dorky genius rom com vibe, Varghese proves again her voice is one of the most important coming out of Australian cinema today.
