"It's a very powerful film, that represents everything that we stand for," Queer Palm jury head, French director Catherine Corsini, told AFP.Ms Corsini herself took the Queer Palm last year with "La Fracture", which features a lesbian couple's relationship against the backdrop of the "Yellow Vest" movement in France.
Awards for films with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer content are already an integral part of other major movie gatherings, including Berlin which has handed out its "Teddy Award" since 1987, and made it part of its official programme. 'Joyland' left Cannes audiences slack-jawed and admiring and got a standing ovation from the opening night's crowd.Part of the surprise stemmed from the discovery by many at Cannes that Pakistan is one the first nations to have given legal protection against discrimination to transgender people.
Is that your quote while sharing this thrilling news? Perhaps try telling something about the film instead.
Did I said something wrong? not truth? Why truth is a 'hate speech' for the left. Do not be afraid!
maybe because it is a bit anti Muslim? Islam is under special protection from lefties. Christian is killed every 5 minutes for his believes but it is ok. In Germany priest, historian was sentenced for smoking out Lavender mafia among German priests because they were gays.
