This year, the Cercle Cité continues its series of screenings of short films and artist films, which will explore different aspects of inclusion, accessibility, integration, and discrimination in a philosophical and original way.
These are highly relevant debates in a society that, on one hand, is becoming increasingly aware of the subject of identity and its diversity, but nevertheless faces difficulties in adapting to this new awareness. The issues of migration and feminism, the quest for (artistic) identity, the rights of people with specific needs, those of people belonging to the LGBTQIA+ group, and the challenges of parenting: the themes related to these debates are multifaceted and affect many of us.
The “queer short film night” is a new format organized in collaboration with Rosa Lëtzebuerg asbl.
The three selected short films follow three couples of protagonists, highlighting the different facets and challenges of love, sexuality, and relationships in general.
