Fourplay is a film made up of four stories across four cities connected by four characters whose lives are charged by four unusual sexual encounters. From the kooky to comic, playful to hopeful, imagined, delicate and downright kooky. Director Kyle Henry explores the broad universe of intimacy with humour, tenderness and a definite Queer eye.

We wrap up this year’s festival with a testament to diversity, fantasy & intimacy.
