Margaret and Jane Will Always Have Paris
And now “Love Sucks” heads to France! Secretly (although obviously not that secretly) I have a dream to be a successful filmmaker in France. After all, they have the best films there. Although a lot of Europe seems to be ahead of the game when it comes to indie film.
Our film will be showing at Cineffable Paris International Lesbian and Feminist Film Festival and we’re especially honored to be screened here not just for the location and the films, but for the theme, art exhibitions and performances. Here’s a little more about the festival:
The Paris Feminist and Lesbian Film Festival, Quand les lesbiennes se font du cinéma, started in 1989.
The desire to organise a festival grew out of discontent and frustration with the Women’s Film Festival at Créteil: despite the fact that THE lesbian film always won the People’s Choice Award (prix du public) at Créteil, hardly any space was given to lesbian films and lesbian festival goers.
Over the years, Quand les lesbiennes se font du cinéma has grown in size and reputation. It has moved from venue to venue to accommodate the ever increasing interest and demands of the lesbian public. A public that has grown from a few hundred in the beginning, to 2000 in the year 2000.
Thanks to Oksana Milmeyster and the staff for giving us the opportunity!
We will be posting screening information as we receive it.
