As long as there is cinema, LE CERCLE will be there. It is the only television program of critical debates 100% devoted to cinema. Each week, it offers fiery, joyful and non-condescending jousts on the films on the bill; and invites with "Le questionnaire du CERCLE" directors to come and share their passion for cinema.

Narrated by an obsessive fan in 2055, an epic, half-century tale unfolds tracking the explosive rise and tragic downfall of a pop icon bound by a mad queer love affair with a punk star.

At the edge of a cliff, three naked men perform a strange ceremony. Suddenly, a creature emerges and kills the three pagans. At this point, we switch to another space-time, where some hybrid beings are born. Together, they celebrate the victory of falsehood and artifice…

On a Sunday morning, a group of young revelers enter a large, vacated apartment. Tired drag queens mix with debauched grannies, drunken vagrants and shy virgins over the course of the morning.

The next edition of Altered Innocence's collection of short films is finally here with over three hours of LGBTQ and Coming-of-Age short films in two separately curated programs! Our 'Altered' program is a wild blast of strange and transgressive visions with films about virtual love dolls on a revenge tear, twinks eager to be annihilated, and a lesbian director obsessed with big boobs. The 'Innocence' program is a more tender and subtle program of loveliness with tales about brotherly love, modern transgender life, intergenerational relationships, and boys testing the limits of traditional masculinity.
