The sixth edition of ZeFestival, the annual LGBT film festival, gets underway this week in a number of towns and cities throughout the region.

A film festival that aims to promote the works of young and unknown filmmakers, a festival that questions and reveals emotions whilst entertaining at the same time. Welcome to ZeFestival, the LGBT film festival organised and run by Polychromes Asso, and now in its sixth year.

The festival starts on Friday, 27th September, and runs until Sunday, 13th October, and, for the second year in a row, will be taking place in a number of towns and cities throughout the region, including Monaco, Nice, Cannes, Toulon, and Marseille.

There is an extensive international programme on offer to festival goers, with no less than twenty six films on the programme from all corners of the world including France, Belgium, Brazil, Italy, Chile, Argentina, Iran, Israel, the USA, and many more. The movies focus on themes relevant to the LGBT community, like gender identity and transsexuality.
