Orlando, ma biographie politique

Territoires cinématographiques is a space for dialogue between the performing arts and cinema, created in collaboration with Avignon's Utopia cinemas. It's a daily gathering of film screenings, at the end of which the public meets and exchanges with theater artists, choreographers, filmmakers, activists, critics and journalists invited to the Festival d'Avignon. It's a space designed to explore the intimate relationships these guests maintain between disciplines and with the world. It's a place where we can take a closer look, both large and small, at the themes brought to the stage, the territories of the guest language, and under the plane trees of the Café des idées.

Orlando, ma biographie politique

Screening followed by a meeting with Paul B. Preciado and Sébastien Tuller, LGBTI+ Officer for Amnesty International France.
Moderated by Oriane Jeancourt Galignani, editor-in-chief of Transfuge magazine.
