Discover the LGBTQ+ community’s authentic stories in this programme!

The Animation, Pride and Diversity theme includes four short film programmes coordinated by Benoit Berthe Siward, founder of The Animation Showcase and co-founder of LGBTQ+ in Animation. These programmes offer a diversity of insights on recent production.

"This theme has become a topical issue, especially for young filmmakers, many of whom tackle issues related to gender and diversity every year."
Marcel Jean

Ranging from new perspectives on love, relationships and desire, to an ode to family and community. From journeys of self-discovery to closeted, troubled lives, this section is a reminder of the diversity of lived experiences inside the queer community and the importance of representation.
