Malvern LGBTQ+ Lifestories is a short film made by Mobilise Arts in partnership with Malvern Pride for LGBTQ+ History Month in memory of Nick Houghton former Mayor of Malvern and Founder of Pride who passed away in December 2024.
Diverse forms of love, identity and family have always existed but LGBTQ+ stories are often left out of history or rewritten. Malvern LGBTQIA+ locals share their own queer life stories and journeys that began or brought them to the hills. Stories characterised by resilience, a quest for authenticity and love.
This project has been led by Malvern-based queer writer, director and producer, Dr Hannah Phillips alongside local queer photographer and videographer Rachel Jones.
Thank you to Malvern District Council, Severn Arts and Malvern Theatres for funding and supporting this community project.
Film running time: 30 mins (followed by reception)
