For Benoît Arnulf, artistic director of In&Out: “It has already been 5 years that the Gay and Lesbian Festival has been honored in Nice. An anniversary edition that takes a current issue as its central theme: ‘Perspectives on Families,’ a unique concept that is understood in the plural. Far from being provocative, this choice is an invitation to explore through images the little revolution triggered by the French law on marriage and adoption for all.”
The festival will be launched at the MAMAC AUDITORIUM at 7 PM with the screening of a short and a feature film that perfectly illustrate this year’s chosen theme.

Jenn and Matt have been inseparable since college and together despair of still being single at thirty. Matt is struggling with a recent breakup, and Jenn, a yoga instructor, is disheartened by the lack of eligible men in New York that suit her taste. To address this emotional solitude, they decide to have a baby together, a “gayby” (a contraction of gay and baby) “the old-fashioned way,” which complicates the process a bit.

Brokeback Mountain was on TV last night. Vincent watched it and was moved. He uses the school break and the privacy of the restroom to share the film with Moussa in a touching and naive way. On the other side of the wall, in the girls’ restroom, Jessica takes the opportunity to ask awkward questions about Nadia’s two dads.
