A very special program featuring the most beautifully-made and thought-provoking shorts; optimistic, introspective, funny… In short, everything that we want FIRE!! to be!

Spain, queer territory

Short film session. 90’

FRI 13/06 : 8pm at the French Institute

(In the presence of Irene Corts Curto, director of Instantànies; Pol Rebaque, director of El jardí del diable; Sonia Martí Gallego, director of Ruth; Javier Prieto de Paula, director of Solo Kim, and Kim Cabral, lead actor; Simone Sojo, director of Las pardas)

This isn’t just any short film session. It’s a queer/cuir explosion, made here, at home, with hands, bodies, and gazes that don’t ask permission. These are stories that burn on a hot summer night, that stir like an old love that’s never forgotten, that move with the rhythm of a brave transition, that laugh and embrace among friends who choose each other. Most come from Catalonia, but they speak all the languages of desire, dissent, and tenderness. And the best part: almost all of their creators will be present at the session to present their films. Welcome to this untamed territory.
