ACTOR ALEXANDER LINCOLN ON GAY RUGBY FILM IN FROM THE SIDE: '70% OF THE CAST WERE OF THE COMMUNITY' Exclusive: Rising star on toxic masculinity, training with the London Stags RFC and his own rugby-playing past Pre-pandemic life is a distant, hazy memory for most of us.

That's the treat in store for Alexander Lincoln, whose new movie In From the Side, examining the lives of gay rugby players on and off the pitch, is screening at this month's BFI Flare: London LGBTQI+ Film Festival on 26 and 27 March before a wide release later this year.

Conversations around sexuality and gender can, however envelope-pushing and necessary, be a turn-off when too serious and sombre. It’s a treat, then, when films like Girl Picture come along, serving ground-breaking, informative representation like a big, airy piece of cake.
