Skies Are Not Just Blue is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Lysandre Cosse-Tremblay and released in 2018.[1] The film profiles four young Muslim Canadians who identify as LGBTQ, and depicts how they navigate holding dual identities that are commonly perceived to be in irreconcilable conflict.[2]

The film premiered at the 2018 Festival du nouveau cinéma, where it received an honorable mention from the jury for the Best Canadian Student Film award.[3] It was subsequently screened at the 2019 Inside Out Film and Video Festival, where Cosse-Tremblay won the award for Emerging Canadian Artist.[4] The film was also entered into the Iris Prize competition in 2019.[5]
