\n25. Festival 2013 poster by Pascale Velleine<\/em><\/p>\n

Cineffable 2013:<\/h2>\n

The 25th anniversary of the French Lesbian & Feminist Film Festival!<\/h2>\n

Being based for a bit in Brussels, I went to Cineffable Film Festival (October 30 to November 3, 2013) for the first time as a selected filmmaker. The venue at Espace EFCB in Montreuil (East of Paris) had a big screening theatre on the street level floor, and on the second floor a smaller screening room. At the basement there was an exhibition with 8 artists presenting their works (paintings, drawings, photographs, sculpture, etc..) on the theme of women body. [The artists are Bea-A<\/a>, Carina Wachsmann & Martina Biccheri<\/a>, Clarisse Rebotier<\/a>, Iona Hughes, Veradias<\/a>, Evelin Stermitz<\/a>, and X.Tin ed.] That space was also used for debates. Another important space was the meeting point for catering and conversation with stalls of groups and shops (Violette and Cie Bookstore, T-shirts). Les D\u00e9gomeuses, Collectif Oui Oui Oui and family were also there.<\/p>\n

A very nice team of volunteers were welcoming us to a well attended festival. The Veteran Feminists were celebrating in big number, and there were fewer women of the young generation and they were more quiet. I never saw so many salt and pepper short and less short hairstyle in one room! Some volunteer animated sessions with their super heroine costumes, the \u201cHungry Hearts\u201d, a Norwegian collective showed up during the weekend for sporadic interaction with the public; an interactive writing workshop and a lottery were also on the programme.<\/p>\n

The strength of this festival lies in the variety of the programme: it was a large (99 films) and very international (about 30 countries) selection of shorts and long feature films, documentaries, experimental, activist, archives, feminist, lesbian, transgender, gender-role. Canada was represented thanks to G.I.V.<\/a> which presented Dayna McLeod’s funny video on \u201cHow to fake an orgasm\u201d, the documentary \u201cLesbiana\u201d by Myriam Foug\u00e8re, two short videos (Lesbian Hand Gestures, Narcissus) by international performance artist Coral Short<\/a>, and a 100 seconde video \u201cDerri\u00e8re cette porte\u201d (Behind that door) by South-Korean-Belgian multimedia artist mihee-nathalie lemoine<\/a> (me).<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t attend every session, but I enjoyed very much the fun, and the video \u201cHow to fake an orgasm\u201d by Dayna McLeod<\/a> gave the tone of the festival. Nice to see her in her mid 20s \u2026 now she turned into a sexy cougar! My \u201cCoup de Coeur\u201d was the delicate aesthetic American-Japanese short fiction \u201cTsuyako\u201d by Mitsuyo Miyazaki and Scisor Mag\u2019s Coup de Coeur was \u201cA self-made man\u201d by Lori Petchers. A feeling good video is \u201cThe bus Pass\u201d by Lee Narissa. My always-nice-to-watch-it-again is the short film \u201cNarcissus\u201d by Coral Short. The festival also screened documentaries on prisons in Russia, Lesbian vs Lesbian (habitants of Lesbo Island vs sexual orientation). The really informative and eloquent session \u201cElles s\u2019apphiffent\u201d (lesbian representation in early TV French shows) by Catherine Gonnard and Elisabeth Lebovici was a sold out.<\/p>\n

Congratulation and \u201clongue vie\u201d to the festival !!!<\/p>\n
