The 23rd Annual Tallgrass Film Festival wrapped with the closing night film Lesbian Space Princess co-directed by Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese walking away with Audience Favorite Narrative Feature.
Lesbian Space Princess is a colorful and witty animated queer sci-fi comedy film that follows Saira, voiced by Shabana Azeez (known for her role on The Pitt), in an intergalactic journey to save her ex-girlfriend, Kiki, voiced by Bernie Van Tiel, from the Straight White Maliens.

Deaf (Sorda) by Eva Libertad has won the 27th Panorama Audience Award for best feature film, and The Moelln Letters (Die Möllner Briefe) by Martina Priessner wins in the category Panorama Dokumente at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival.
