Panorama: Cinéma Ibérique returns for its second edition, celebrating film production from Portugal and Spain around a shared theme — offering multiple artistic perspectives on common realities.

If the first edition was dedicated to commemorating the rediscovered democracy in both Iberian countries and the struggles that made it possible, Regards irisés / Iridescent Gazes celebrates its most significant consequence: the guarantee of equality before the law, human dignity, and individual freedoms. By putting the spotlight on queer cinema in the two neighboring countries, we aim to create a space for LGBTQIA+ stories, identities, and experiences that have historically been excluded or rendered invisible. Through a programme comprising 6 feature films and 8 short films presented over four days, a visual arts exhibition, and public encounters with artists, researchers, and activists, Regards irisés / Iridescent Gazes is a showcase of narrative diversity and aesthetic forms that represent queer people with complexity and dignity.

To celebrate queer cinema is also to defend democracy, diversity, and human rights.
