The 4th LGBT Film Festival 2013 is one of the most important events on the cultural map of Poland. It takes place every year and is the biggest feast of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) cinema in the country. The program of the festival consists of the latest, acclaimed both by critics and audiences titles from the international festival circuit, most of which is presented in Poland for the first time. There are also few films from previous years, which did not go into theatrical distribution in Poland, but became a part
of the canon of world's most important LGBT production.
The program will feature, among others, such titles as "Cloudburst", comedy unknown in Poland, with a fantastic performance of Olympia Dukakis - the winner of an Oscar and a Golden Globe, as well as "Cruising", film released for distribution in 1980s, starring Al Pacino in the lead role. The film was plagued with controversy, and its director was forced to cut 40 minutes of sexually
explicit material. Those 40 minutes have never been screened publicly. Attempts to reimagine what was in those lost scenes were undertaken by filmmakers James Franco and Travis Mathews. That is how the film "Interior. Leather. Bar" was created, which already caused quite a stir at this year's Sundance and Berlin film festivals. We will also present "I do", one of the most desired movie by the organizers of LGBT festivals around the world. In addition to "Interior. Leather Bar." our Documentary Block will also include an Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary "How to survive the plague".
The program of this year's edition of the festival has been enhanced with the Short Film Block, consisting of suggestions and submissions made by viewers.
Through the official website for the festival www.LGBTfestival.pl
