French Film Festival Highlights: Queer Cinema, Antifascist Literature, and More

The article presents cultural recommendations for the weekend, including a queer film set in a country where homosexuality is criminalized and a literary event infused with antifascism. It also reports on the French film festival, where special envoy Javier Zurro is active. Diego Luna presented a film out of competition, directed by him, about two domestic workers in Spain. Riusuke Hamaguchi, director of 'Drive My Car', moved audiences with 'Soudain (All of a sudden)', a potential Palme d'Or contender. Pawel Pawlikowski's 'Fatherland', analyzing Cold War wounds, is also in contention. Zurro also saw Sorogoyen's 'El ser querido' featuring Javier Bardem, and Aina Clotet's debut feature 'Viva', which earned her the Revelation Award at the Semaine de la Critique.
