FIRE!! Barcelona LGBTI Film Festival

Barcelona, Spain


The FIRE!! Mostra is the first LGBT film festival in Spain: established in 1995 by Casal Lambda, in Barcelona, it addresses affective diversity in its broadest sense through a careful selection of feature films, documentaries and short films. A selection of art-house cinema and an educational approach are its main characteristics.

Throughout two weeks at the beginning of June - mainly at the French Institute but also at other different indoor or open-air venues in the city -, a wide range of public is invited to enjoy this Barcelona cultural landmark, with stories and testimonials of free people, creators who break barriers and fighters for human rights, all of whom help with love to build a fairer and freer world.

The festival's name is a tribute to the late 20s New York magazine of the same name, FIRE!!, led by the black gay writer Richard Bruce Nugent, portrayed in one of the most iconic films of the festival, Brother to Brother, which we screened a few years ago.

UNO SGUARDO RARO (A Rare Glance)

The rare disease international film festival is the first and only film festival on rare diseases in Europe. It collects and promotes the best video works on rare diseases and social inclusion through an international competition and works with public and private partners, both national and international, the rare diseases community, disability advocates, entertainment and film culture professionals.

It is a cultural project created by Claudia Crisafio, actress and author, and Serena Bartezzati, a rare patient and professional in the field of communication.

Our aim is to hold annual awareness-raising event on rare diseases and disability issues to share knowledge, information and experience. We believe that sharing knowledge and speaking about rare disease and disability can make life easier for persons affected by rare disease and/or disability, their family members and caregivers. It is important to break the isolation rare disease patients and their families, one of the most felt problems especially by younger generations.

CATEGORIES
