Layla + Q&A

We're delighted to welcome director Amrou Al-Kadhi for a post-film Q&A.

Layla is a struggling British-Palestinian drag performer, whose confident façade hides a yearning for real love.

When their performance at a belittling corporate Pride event turns into a transgressive takedown, they are surprised to win the affection of Max, a charming, white gay man with a powerful marketing job, who is bewitched by Layla's power on stage. 

A thrilling romance sparks from across the aisles of the LGBTQ+ community, as both Layla and Max negotiate how desire and identity collide.
