About the festival:
The Iridescent Guadix International Film Festival. Queer and Feminist Geographies was created with the aim of promoting diversity, inclusion, and visibility of the queer and feminist community through film.

From the city of Guadix, gateway to the Granada Geopark, this event will offer a space for exhibition, training, and dialogue around queer and feminist cinema, highlighting national and international works that address issues of sexual diversity, gender identity, and human rights. It will also serve as a platform for new talent, promoting the production of independent and arthouse films from an intersectional perspective that includes the contributions of feminism as a tool for social transformation.

Important note: AsianFilmFestivals and it’s creator, Sebastián Nadilo, is a collaborator and programmer for this festival.
