I have put together a programme of mischievous smiles, beautiful escapes, striking images, witty words, daring stripteases, anachronistic dialogues, luminous worlds\u2026<\/p>\n

Like the wildflower meadow on the poster, Everybody\u2019s Perfect remains a cultural player that celebrates diversity in the arts, genders and loves, on screen, at La Paillette and on the dance floor.<\/p>\n

To joyfully proclaim that nature is queer, this 13th edition offers innovative screenings and an infinite range of colours.<\/p>\n

In many countries, the rights of LGBTIQ+ people are in decline. Governments are criminalising queer identities and relationships. Acts of violence are increasing. Companies that once proudly displayed their openness to diversity are becoming more discreet, or even withdrawing their support for the cause. Social media, which major platforms have stopped moderating, is carrying an unprecedented outpouring of hate. In Switzerland, reports of homophobic acts have increased dramatically in recent years.<\/p>\n

In this context, art and culture play a more important role than ever. The philosopher Gilles Deleuze saw the act of creation as an act of resistance: \u201cArt is what resists: it resists death, servitude, infamy and shame.\u201d Throughout its history, cinema has played a major role in denouncing discrimination, deconstructing stereotypical representations, making queer people\u2019s life stories visible and changing perceptions of LGBTIQ+ communities.<\/p>\n

In French-speaking Switzerland, the Everybody\u2019s Perfect festival has been carrying out this essential work for several years. By presenting works of high artistic quality from around the world, it creates a space for sharing where audiences can recognise themselves in the stories or discover other realities. It gives a voice to those who are still too often marginalised and showcases lives in all their richness and diversity. By making cinema a tool for emancipation for society as a whole, the festival invites us to imagine a fairer and more inclusive society. For this, we sincerely thank it!<\/p>\n
