SOURA Film Festival

-

We are delighted to host the SOURA FILM FESTIVAL for the first time from 29 September to 2 October, dedicated to queer cinema from the S.W.A.N.A. region.

In its 4th edition, Soura Film Festival celebrates sexual liberation, an ode to affirmation of one’s self and identity, tales of trips to unknown, rogue territories; in other words, it is embracing a dystopian future with everything it has to offer, and with a hunger for discovery and angry manifestos...
Setting up the stage for a future dystopia is not an easy task, but it gives us the opportunity to redecorate as we see fit. Try new ideas. Reshape old ones. Make amends with past regrets. Decide whether we want to learn or not from our mistakes. The stakes are higher, but there’s already nothing to lose.
