Conceived with Ricky Mastro, a key voice in Brazilian queer cinema, and in collaboration with the Consulate General of Brazil and the Instituto Guimarães Rosa, Mostra Queer Brasil is a vibrant meeting place where queer imaginations can flourish freely.

For its first screening, ARTE presents two medium-length films that evoke the vulnerability of bodies and hearts: Seule la tendresse (Only Tenderness) and Dans une chimère (In a Chimera).

Samuel, a black-and-white animated series created by Émilie Tronche, will be followed by a DJ set featuring music from the 2000s.
