The 29th festival took place from 2 to 5 November at Espace Reuilly. A total of 53 films from 22 different countries were screened. There were 1306 festivalgoer-members in attendance, which represents an increase of 3.2% compared to previous edition, despite a reduced duration of one day compared to 2016. The proportion of reduced-rate memberships has increased (+0.8%) while supporting memberships are decreasing (-3.3%). In addition, a large number of festival-goers contributed to the "pending tickets" programme, which was renewed for the fourth year in a row: over 130 tickets were distributed to festival-goers on limited budgets. Overall attendance at screenings went down, to a total of 4128 (-2.5%) for 16 screenings, five less than the preceding year. Therefore, the average number of tickets per screening go up 27.7% compared to 2016.

The selection of the 29th festival featured 53 films from 22 pays. 15 women filmmakers and a few technicians and actresses came to meet the spectators at the end of the screenings of their works. The most popular screenings reflected the festival's diversity: the shorts programmes Lez do it! (470 spectators) and Elles avancent, elles ripostent (259), the feature films Signature Move (447), Heartland (377) and Our Love Story (302), the feature-length documentary Ovarian Psycos, presented at the opening session, in conjunction with the concert of Sybella Guillaume (363), and the closing night session combining the performance of collective The Canopy and the French shorts (257). As every year, all foreign language films have been subtitled by the team's volunteer translators, as well as all French-language films to allow access to deaf and hard-of-hearing spectators. Overall, there is a higher concentration of entrances on the weekend (59.7%) than in 2016 and an equivalent attendance on evenings (49.3%).
The festival's inclusion of live performance, which began in 2015 continued with a choreographic tableau created especially by Lucie Anceau, dancer and choreographer, as part of the "transmission" event.

The art exhibit of the 29th festival, entitled "Presences Revealed," was filled with emancipated figures, sometimes strong and proud, often disturbing. These individuals challenge the boundaries and limits of gender identity and social standards. The works - photographs, short film and participatory performance - take the festival-goers to hybrid plastic zones. From framed photography to the furtive snap of the smartphone, in apartments, in studios or in the middle of French or Latin American farmland, the artists widen our horizons and build our thirst for encounters. The presence of the artists on the exhibition always allows a very liked exchange of festival-goers.
In addition, the writer Cy Jung read the text she wrote after the collection of words and the textual play organized at the previous festival and whose objective was to create our clitoral lexicon.

Following the success of the activities proposed in 2016, three workshops were organized on registration (wakeup yoga, feminist self-defense and film creation).

Alongside the feminist and LGBT bookstore Violette and Co., other stands gave space to non-profits such as the lesbian magazine Well well well, the politically committed t-shirt designer Sarah Calas, SOS Homophobie and the radio show on internet Gouinement lundi.

Despite the difficulties engendered by the space, the cafeteria crew once again managed to satisfy festival-goers with their lovingly prepared meals. And finally, as in previous years, a room was rented from the neighbouring cultural venue Le Chantier in order to be able to propose three debates and round-table discussions, as well as the aforementioned workshops and the Q&As at the end of screenings with the film directors present at the festival.

Over the course of the year 2017, the Hors les murs screenings, open to all, were the opportunity to reprogram shorts selected in previous editions: prize-winning shorts from the 28th festival for the 2nd Festival of LGBT cultures programmed in partnership with the Centre LGBT Paris Île-de-France and the Mairie du 10e arrondissement and an evening of screening at the Bar'Ouf as part of the Fortnight of LGBT prides at the initiative of the Inter-LGBT. Finally, partnerships with the Centre Evolutif Lilith (CEL) and with the Aux 3G associative café have allowed the organization of three screening evenings in Marseille.

The result for the 2017 financial period is close to balance (+€78.71), thanks in particular to a donation received at the very end of the year from the Cibel association. There is a decline in the overall turnover of the festival, which comes mainly from cafeteria (one day less), while memberships are up 1.9% and admission tickets to screening sessions increase by 2.5%. The reduction in festival duration (-1 day) resulted in only a 14% drop in venue expenses (rental and security costs), as the rental of furniture and cooking material and "cancellation show" insurance increased significantly (+25%). Expenses for the opening-night concert were kept to a strict minimum, as in previous year, thanks to activist commitment on the part of the artist.
Expenditures for the catalog and festival documents were reduced (-32.8%) thanks to a reopening of competition of the printers. Overall, the proportion of the budget devoted to communication is reduced to 3.6% compared to 7.7% in 2016. To this must be added an increased effort without financial cost to establish communication partnerships with media and associations, as well as the development of digital communication resulting from the volunteer commitment of the communication commission.
Operating expenses decreased mechanically as equipment acquired at the end of 2011 was fully amortized at the end of the 2016 financial year. These operating expenses are down 2.6% and represent 14.3% of the total budget. The contribution of dance parties to the overall budget represents 2.3% (2.9% in 2016) because of an attendance which continues to crumble. Although cafeteria receipts decreased (-12.9%), the surplus generated by this activity is up 5.6% compared to 2016. The cafeteria crew made a special effort to improve its organization and to controlling costs so the cost of supply dropped by 30.3%.
Supports and donations increased (+39.2%), but less subtitles were granted for a fee than in 2016.

The City of Paris has renewed its €3500 operating subsidy.

The treasury is stable but remains insufficient at the approach of the festival and several people on the team had to advance funds or pay bills directly.
