Editorial Committee of the programming
To all Cineffabulous women, and to our beloved public, bonjour!!! The 21st edition of your favourite festival, the one you've all been waiting for, is coming soon!! Book seats for yourself and your nearest and dearest now!! Seeing it all, or nearly, is possible with the pass festival !
This year's selection is exceptional, with 32 screenings: 18 at the Trianon, for a total of 57 different films and 14 at the Halle St Pierre, for a total of 18 different films, plus the films screened twice, for ladies with busy schedules (or who are too late to get tixkets to the first screening). We really outdid ourselves this year, working overtime just for you! So here’s some advice, straight from a programmer’s mouth, to share with your friends: don't miss Ghosted, the opening-night film. or any of the wonderful, emotion-filled feature films we were lucky enough to get this year: Mein freund aus Faro, Drool, Hannah Free, at the Trianon every night at 8. And rain or shine, you have to see Rain, ô Rain ! on Saturday at 3 p.m!
There's no shortage of shorts this year either, but you'll see, they're so good, you’ll be laughing so hard you’ll cry, or crying for real The directrix (reminder: all the films shown at Cineffable are directed by women) are really on their game this year, and you won't regret coming to see their work!!
So let's see, what's next? Ah oui, a Focus : Monika Treut and a La Chocha retrospective. Our advice to the newbies who are coming to their first Cineffable: get your tickets now, or the Girls in the Know may get them all before you! What's more, for the first time in living memory, there's a whole slew of African films. Only the best, and we can promise a real change of scenery as well as some heated debates.
And we haven't forgotten our activist friends: Viva Bagdam, 20 years old this year, long live the Take Back the Night March, hats off to the Combattantes Monday afternoon at 12.30 at the Trianon), and lots more!!
And last but not least, the three Trianon Nights are worth staying up late for!! A soirée butch-fem (en français: butch-femme), a soirée Q (in French, Q = sex), and a soirée SM (you get the picture, right?) and the cherry on the cake Monday at 3 p.m. at the Trianon... it' all good!
Oh la la, I haven't said anything about the Stories that Never Get Told (Saturday at 8 p.m., at the Halle); Behind the Sport Scene, including the festival's only Asian film, from Korean The Helmet selection. surprise, surprise! I haven't told you about my absolutely favourite film of all... but they're trying to tell me something. they're saying there's no more room, I have to stop. but do come. You wouldn't want to miss it for the world, it's the most beautiful, the most astounding, the most appealing, the most the most and more...
The whole Cineffable crew (60 volunteers all year long, twice that during the festival) wishes you a Happy Festival 2009!!!
We can't wait to see how you like it...
