Zoe Black is an award-winning filmmaker based in London. Their latest narrative short, Queer & Confused, will have its World Premiere at BFI Flare 2026. The film follows friends Charlie and Dolly as they get ready for a night out, exploring friendship and gender identity against the backdrop of 1980s London.

It won Best Documentary Short at LesGaiCineMad 2024, a Goya Award qualifying selection.
