**Lesflicks** will be celebrating **LGBTQ+ History Month**[ with a short film programme](https://www.lesflicks.com/events/lgbt-history-month-short-film-programme-2021/?ref=scenemag.co.uk) aimed at increasing the knowledge of, and access to, lesbian and bisexual film. This year’s theme is **Mind, Body & Soul**, with two programmes of short films to engage, entertain and inspire the LGBTQ+ community. Access to the two film programmes will be made available between **February 1 and 28** via the [LesflicksVOD platform](https://lesflicksvod.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk).

The programme is also being made [available to community groups, charities, libraries and networks](https://www.lesflicks.com/events/lgbt-history-month-film-festival-2021/?ref=scenemag.co.uk) in order to run watch party events to engage their communities and offer support to prevent social isolation during the pandemic.

**Naomi Bennett**, CEO & founder, said: *“We first launched our LGBTQ+ History Month programme in 2019 in direct response to UK libraries wanting to screening LGBTQ+ films to engage local communities. Available titles were somewhat limited and exhausted in previous years, and we know short films offer much more opportunity for discussion and engagement.*

*“Our first year we saw five events around the UK, this year that has increased to 18 enquiries from libraries, university networks, corporate networks, LGBTQ+ charities and LGBTQ+ community groups. We’re delighted to be able to support such a broad range of groups within our community. Film has the ability to distract, entertain and to bring people together and so is the perfect solution for a disconnected community.”*
