Cathy Peylan (France)
Private collection >>> Photographs / Installation >>>  Entrance Hall
As in her photographic work about dance, Cathy Peylan's autobiographical photos aim to speak the language of the body. Editing, overlapping, alliance and interactions of all "genres/genders" for an artist who is well-known at Cineffable, and who proudly proclaims the role of "lesbian artist". Her photos will slip into unexpected nooks in the Trianon in an order and rhythm that will change and evolve over the course of the festival.

March O', Ladies Right to Expression not Suppression! Performances/Marches
Created in 2002 by Priya Mistry "Whatsthebigmistry" combines living art, performance art, films, photographs and virtual forms.

Lucie Rocher (France)
Ce réveil... >>> Video-Sound Installation >>>  Projection specific 1st-floor space
French artist Lucie Rocher's work pairs photography with three-dimensional installations, sometimes including sound, in which the body has a dominant role. A body constrained by the format or space... For the festival, Lucie Rocher proposes a confined sound space, where listening becomes an intimate act, and the story, a personal one.

Collectif Lemeh42 (Italy)
Study on human form and humanity >>> Video >>>  Mezzanine
For many years, this video-filmmakers' collective has been developing a body of work based on performance pieces or choreographed works. Each time, the body is posed in its humanity, sometimes in a very artistic and dream-like way, sometimes in the hollows of brief narratives.

Cendres Lavy (France)
To Prove To Be (S'avérer) >>> Wall Paintings >>>  Restrooms
The work of French artist Cendres Lavy is based on collecting photos, screen grabs and texts exchanged electronically. It queries the interactions that exist between visual fields, the different forms of domination and the collective unconscious. Thus the artist attempts to indicate to what extent reality won't let itself be reflected and to signify that images can be anything but innocent.
