Lisbon Gay and Lesbian Film Festival

In 1997, I was invited to organize the 1st Lisbon Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. I took on this challenge with considerable enthusiasm, and it has given me great pleasure that the event has attained international recognition and is now in its 11th edition and renamed as Queer Lisboa.

In the present, for personal and professional reasons, I no longer direct the Film Festival and no longer live in Lisbon. I am living now in Lucerne, Switzerland. Having been the founder of this Festival and its director from 1997 to 2004, and being still pretty much emotionally attached to it and to its team, my collaboration with the Queer Lisboa will perpetuate thru a text of mine in the Festival Program and the selection of one film per edition.
