Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon’s erotic thriller Night Stage will be the Closing Night Gala of the 39th edition of BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival (19 to 30 March), with Shatara Michelle Ford’s road trip movie Dreams in Nightmares screening as a Special Presentation. The UK premieres of Dreams in Nightmares, on 23 March, and Night Stage, on 29 March, will take place at BFI Southbank and filmmakers are expected to be in attendance.

The filmmakers’ second feature Hard Paint received the Teddy Award for Best Film and the C.I.C.A.E. Jury Award for Best Panorama Film at Berlin International Film Festival 2018.
