Jimpa, the new film by Sophie Hyde, centers on queer joy and the experiences of a loving queer family. Following the journey of Hannah and her non-binary child Frances as they visit the Netherlands, the narrative encourages themes of love and acceptance. Inspired by Hyde's real family, including her openly gay father, the film arrives at a critical time, reflecting on societal shifts towards LGBTQ+ issues. Cast members emphasize the film's relevance and the hope that it changes perspectives around love and acceptance in the face of rising hatred.
If we can find love, if we can find joy, that's all we need.
When we were making the film, we had no idea how necessary it was going to be at this at this particular moment.
Hatred and mistrust is always ignorance. Maybe if anyone could watch the film and go, 'Ah, okay. I'm not threatened by this.'
