Last Sunday saw a very special edition of Queer Pioneers. That evening, La naissance des pieuvres was screened, in the presence of French director Céline Sciamma. Before the film, she spoke at length about her work with Queen Pioneers curator Renske Diks.
Sciamma, Sciamma!
We are proud she was there, as Sciamma now has a small but impressive and critically acclaimed body of work to her name. Did you miss Queer Pioneers? No need to panic! To highlight how special her films are, Rialto has decided to bring her other feature-length films back into the limelight as well. From now until 14 July, you can still enjoy La naissance des pieuvres, Tomboy, Girlhood, Portrait de la jeune fille en feu and Petite maman. Click here for the full program.
