2018 Queer Shorts Showcase Festival is almost upon us!

The capital city of Botswana will, once again, play host to the Queer Shorts Showcase Festival. This year will mark the first of the summer editions of the festival  and it will be hosted at the Lady Olebile Masire Community Centre - named after the former First Lady of Botswana. 

All the activity will unfold on 20 October and we anticipate some interesting work to be showcased.
