Diverse Encounters. LGTBIQ+ short films

Diverse Encounters. LGTBIQ+ short films Borja Muñoz Gallego y MGC / LA CRÉME. Diseño IC: Lola Montero

In the framework of Instituto Cervantes’ programme related to gender diversity, we present an annual short film series that addresses different approaches to the LGBTIQ+ reality, taking place around the Pride Day celebration. In this edition, Madrid's Cinemateca Pedro Zerolo has selected seven works that recover the militant and awareness-raising spirit of this Spanish activist, whose political career helped to enact the same-sex marriage law. In addition, the program has the support of Exterior es Diverso, the platform created by LGBTI personnel from the Spanish Foreign Service, together with their partners and families. 


The series “Various Encounters. LGBTIQ+ short films» presents life stories of people of all ages, and especially those who have had to leave their countries due to their gender identity. Most of the films are documentaries but there are also several fiction titles. Two of the movies are directed by filmmaker Roberto Pérez Toledo - recently deceased-, whose prolific career was committed to the theme of this series. Their inclusion in this series aims at paying tribute to his figure.
