We’re thrilled to bring the 2025 Teddy Award Winner Lesbian Space Princess to the CSUMB World Theater! Rated 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, don’t miss this queer sci-fi comedy that critics are calling “a frenetic, fun adventure where the jokes make landfall at an astounding rate” (ScreenHub), “a much needed laugh” (The Guardian), and “the kind of joyful romp we need right now” (Autostraddle).Frameline’s Executive Director, Allegra Madsen, will be visiting CSUMB to present the film and meet with students to discuss the world of film festivals. The film screening will be preceded by a student-run costume contest. So, put on your Halloween best and join us for an unforgettable evening of seasonal cinematic fun
In this Teddy Award-winning animated comedy, The Pitt’s breakout star Shabana Azeez voices Saira, the film’s titular sapphic monarch-to-be. Painfully introverted, Saira is also unable to summon the Royal Labrys — the most powerful weapon in all of Clitopolis. That becomes an even bigger problem when Kiki (Bernie Van Tiel), the Saira’s annoyingly cool, pink-haired bounty hunter ex, is kidnapped by the Straight White Maliens.Eager to prove herself (and win Kiki back), Saira sets off on a zany journey that brings her face-to-face with an incredibly problematic (space)ship (Richard Roxburgh), an assured gay-pop star (Gemma Chua Tran), and, of course, years of built-up self-doubt. Brimming with colors as bright as its gay in-jokes, and shades of offbeat animated romps like Adventure Time and Scott Pilgrim, writer-director duo Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese’s Lesbian Space Princess is a frenetic sci-fi-comedy musical that isn’t afraid to lez it all out.
