A place to celebrate the LGBT artistic expressions
THE PARIS GAY & LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL: Since 1994, the Paris Gay & Lesbian Film Festival is showing LGBT movies from all over the world. The mainstream distribution doesn't release these movies very often, afraid they might not be profitable. We stand up for independant movies, art movies, and movies not yet released to the pubic.
The Festival offers a chance for young cinematographers to show their first movies. It's a laboratory of forms, talents and themes. An experimental section called Sexperimental presents new forms of cinema and video.
It is also a meeting center for movie professionals and LGBT community. A place where actors, producers, and distributers can make new projects. We celebrate the union of our diversites, asserts our visibility, through parties and events.

A place for social and international discussions
The Festival warranties the visibility of the LGBT community to the rest of french society and the world. The movies express the worries and hopes of the french LGBT people. Our Festival carries their message to the public and to the powers in charge. It shows the willingness for social improvement It discusses about the problems met in french society : gay wedding and adoption, homophobia, AIDS, equality of rights in work and every other domain. It also acts as a memory lesson showing older movies about the abuse towards gay people before the eighties.
The Festival is also a forum for oppressed people, opening its screens to foreign movies depicting the situation of LGBT communities throughout the world, with its fights, its betterments, and the injustices which still persevere. It also shows french LGBT movies in the rest of the world.
