(Re)programant els arxius. A queer look at MIFDB films

For three decades, the Mostra Internacional de Films de Dones de Barcelona (MIFDB) has been cataloguing and archiving all the films that are programmed and researched at each edition of the festival. As part of a proposal to reactivate the archive from a critical point of view, we invited filmmaker Alba Cros to approach it from a queer perspective. In this session, she will present the results of her research, showing the queer practices of festival programming throughout the MIFDB's history.
