This evening, with the screening of the German film Free Fall at the Auditorium of Mamac followed by the evening at C’ Factory, IN & OUT, the gay and lesbian film festival, will begin its 6th edition.
.
Over 10 days (in Cannes on May 1st and 2nd at Les Arcades Cinema) the Mercury (a visit to the Eclat de la Villa Arson is planned for April 28th and 29th) will be the venue for the presentation of thirty films to an ever-growing audience.
Thanks to the dedication of the entire festival team, this event, far from casting a somber look, is a splendid open window on the world that encourages reflection and the confrontation of ideas in mutual respect.
The richness and diversity of the programming will allow the exploration of numerous themes and the opportunity for rich debates and captivating encounters.
As every year, many guests will be present during these ten days of festivities. Directors Antony Hickling (Little Gay Boy), Antonia DaSilva (shorts focus), João Pedro Rodrigues & João Rui Guerra Da Mata (shorts focus), Tina Ficher (I am Lesbian – Montreal), Sebastiano d’Ayala Valva (The Trannies also Cry, Angel), and Abdellah Taïa (Salvation Army) as well as actor Manuel Blanc (Little Gay Boy), author Didier Roth-Bettoni (Sebastiane or Saint Jarman, Queer Filmmaker and Martyr), photographer Randa Mirza, and João Ferreira, the Artistic Director of Queer Lisboa, will meet with the public from the Côte d’Azur.
Beyond cinema, In & Out offers two photography exhibitions that question the body (Randa Mirza and Nir Arieli), a reading that invites you to (re)discover the writings of Monique Wittig, a major figure of the French feminist movement and self-proclaimed “radical lesbian,” as well as an evening on coming out livened up by Les Urbanocrates (readings, performances, exhibition, projection).
Enjoy the Festival!
