ABOUT

Every August bank holiday, Manchester Pride celebrate their annual pride festival, drawing in hundreds of thousands of people. This year was set to be no different, but 2020 had other plans. To celebrate this year, we worked with Pride to produce this 15-minute short film to play at their alternative, virtual festival. The video was used to open the weekend, and to act as a replacement for the Parade - one of the centerpieces of the weekend.

The piece looks back at the history of the LGBTQ+ community, exploring the past and present troubles, and touching on the covid-19 pandemic & other political issues such as the BLM movement.
