The Blue Caftan
12A

Leeds Queer Film Festival opening night

Why watch?

“We were enchanted by the film's delicate portrayal of both bisexuality and polyamory. A rare gem of a film with a thread of sadness sewn throughout - we really hope you love this film.”

Leeds Queer Film Festival,

A middle-aged tailor and his wife find their relationship challenged by the arrival of a handsome new apprentice.

Drama • Romantic • Tender

Halim and Mina run a traditional caftan store in one of Morocco's oldest medinas. Demanding customers and Mina’s failing health cause them to hire Youssef, a talented apprentice. His presence challenges both the work and home life of Halim and Mina.

This gentle and deliberate drama shows the intricacies of unconditional love whilst navigating new relationship possibilities. This was the official submission of Morocco for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 95th Academy Awards in 2023.

Leeds Queer Film Festival are delighted to present The Blue Caftan as part of their opening night at the Hyde Park Picture House. LQFF takes place from Wed 20 - Sun 24 March in venues across the city – to discover the full programme, visit: leedsqueerfilmfestival.co.uk
