Madrid's gay and lesbian film festival is committed to showcasing how homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality can be openly lived, enjoyed and accepted. It screens films from a host of countries at various cinemas during November. Each film has been chosen for its artistic quality and social pertinence. There are usually around 80 screenings, making the festival one of the city's most important cultural events. There are prizes, voted for by the public, for best feature-length and best short film.
