QUEER LISBOA 12

by Paula on Sep.14, 2008, under Film festivals

The Queer Lisboa is organizing its 12th edition, a unique opportunity to catch up on the most recent international gay, lesbian, and queer cinematography. The Festival has three main Competition Sections: Feature Film Awards (best feature, best actor, and best actress), Documentary Award, and Short Film Award (audience award).
An International Jury will give away the awards of the Best Feature Film and Documentary Competitions, and a great number of national and international guests will attend our 12th edition.
In a special film cycle, Queer TV, the Festival will screen some recent television productions adapted to the big screen, exploring some of the most pertinent subjects which make the contemporary agendas of queer culture and communities.
Another new Festival feature is the programme section Queer Art, in which cinema meets the visual arts at large, through two main perspectives: on the one hand, a showcase of very recent edgy filmmaking defying the boundaries of cinematic languages, genres and narratives; and on the other hand, feature fictions and documentaries portraying renowned queer artists.

The Queer Lisboa 12 will also present three thematic film cycles, accompanied by several debates with the presence of many national and international guests: a film cycle on Religion and Homosexuality, a regard upon the Portuguese Colonial War, and a film cycle on Obscenity, with 5 late night screenings, exploring the limits of the explicit sex on screen.
