Landline
In 2010, a chaplain from Cheshire set up a helpline for gay farmers. Landline journeys into the world of the people who called.
Overview
Landline is a short documentary about the only helpline in the UK for gay farmers. Through a series of recorded telephone conversations and reconstructive visuals, the film uses the helpline as a lens through which to view the experiences of LGBTQ+ people in the British farming community.
In a world that prizes traditional masculinity and in which ideas of ancestry are fundamental, being gay can be isolating. Candid, intimate and shocking, Landline is a snapshot of a group of people bound together by circumstance but so often disconnected from each other. Part of FiveFilms4Freedom 2018, the global, digital LGBTQ+ film festival brought to you for a fourth year by the British Council and the British Film Institute (BFI). From 21 March –1 April, audiences in London will be enjoying BFI Flare, the LGBTQ+ film festival. At the same time you, and people all over the world, can watch five films from the festival for free online. Love is a human right.
