PARIS INTERNATIONAL
LESBIAN & FEMINIST FILM FESTIVAL
Quand les lesbiennes se font du cinéma
You will enjoy this year because the lineup of Cineffable spring is completely new. Spring is the revival, and new leaves (films ...) are teeming. So that's fine for you!
Spring has inspired a fiery lineup, each found the heroin that will vibrate with excitement. Of militant cinema to cinema big ballads, with stories to make you weep with emotion, you will find the images that will make you quiver.
This 3rd edition of Printemps de Cineffable is next for the 22nd festival because it had been shortened. We have for this event from a place made available by Mairie du 11e arrondissement (at advantageous terms and binding on both): Salle Olympe de Gouges.
And even more than usual, volunteers team redoubled their efforts, tricks, intelligence and intense discussions to organize this event so close before.
A festival, films are first, but it is also a space to discuss and debate intellectually rich and a cafeteria (where foods are served over roboratives) because the restoration committee and all volunteers who bring their competition exerted all their culinary art with delicious sandwiches, pies and other festive flavor.
As the 23rd festival, he will again be held at Espace Reuilly of 5 days, and strong experience of last year our next challenge is to adapt the organization to the constraints of the site.
We are always looking for the perfect place after confirmed the impossibility to return to the Trianon and ideas are welcome!
