The @BFIFlare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival opens tonight with The European premiere of Amrou Al-Kadhi's (@Glamrou) Film4-backed Layla.
Layla tells the story of an Arab drag queen whose outward display of confidence conceals a deep-seated yearning for love. #BFIFlare
Me and @LouisGreatorex first met on the set of #lastangoinhalifax in January of 2012 (he was 14 and I was 17) we’ve beautifully been in each others lives since and ridiculously almost 10 years after meeting we played “pappy” and “bubbles” in #MastersOfTheAir love this man dearly

Masters Of The Air - Jan 26
I play Capt. Joseph Payne - or "Bubbles" as he was affectionately known. He was considered one of the best navigators in the 100th. Organised, hard-working, skilled - one of the many brave men who gave everything they had.
Their story is very special.
Two Film4-backed productions have been selected for the 2024 #Sundance Film Festival!
☀️ Layla, directed by Amrou Al-Kadhi
☀️ Love Lies Bleeding, directed by Rose Glass
