Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese interview on Lesbian Space Princess at Berlin Film Festival 2025

Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese interview on Lesbian Space Princess at Berlin Film Festival 2025: Campy fun, queer empowerment & animation meets comedy Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese have crafted a vibrant and pioneering animated feature titled Lesbian Space Princess, which they describe as a campy, colorful, and humorous cinematic journey. The film was conceived during a moment of inspiration in the shower and was produced under their company, We Made A Thing Productions, with producer Tom Phillips. Their work is a unique blend of animation and musical comedy, designed to create a space where young queer individuals feel seen and validated. It targets a diverse audience, including teenagers and sci-fi and animation enthusiasts, and serves as a love letter to the queer community, filled with geeky, anxious charm and life lessons for younger viewers. The filmmakers discuss the movie's meta-elements and its commentary on incel culture, using straight white male aliens as a metaphor for ignorance and intolerance. They assembled a voice cast of beloved Australian actors and comedians, and the film features original songs that deepen its narrative and characters. As Lesbian Space Princess premieres in Berlin, Hobbs and Varghese express both excitement and anxiety about its international reception, particularly regarding its distinctly Australian humor. They hint at the potential for expanding the film's universe into a franchise or spin-offs and mention ongoing projects that promise more queer genre films. This interview highlights their innovative approach to filmmaking and their commitment to celebrating the LGBTQ+ community through joyful and representative content.
