Queer Palm Cannes 2022

It's back! The Queer Palm Film Festival is in full force for 2022!

Heading the jury for the Queer Palm 2022 awards is the French director,

Catherine Corsini. The winner last year for her film, ‘The Fracture (La Fracture)’. Catherine is the sixth woman to preside over the jury in the twelve years of the Queer Palm Film Festival existence following in the footsteps of Elisabeth Quin, Julie Gayet, Desiree Akhavan, Sylvie Pialat, and Virginie Ledoyen.

Catherine Corsini will be joined by four jurors: the actor Djanis Bouzyani, the journalist Marilou Duponchel, the Swiss director Stéphane Riethauser and the Australian producer Paul Struthers.

Created in 2010 by the film critic, Franck Finance-Madureira, the “Queer Palm" each year rewards one long film and one short film from the competition dealing with LGBT, queer or feminist themes, among all the Cannes selections.

As always, this is a prime opportunity to promote LGBTQ film content in the city of Cannes at a time when the eyes of the world are on the famous film festival.

Below is a list of the 17 features and 12 short movies that will compete this year for the Queer Palm from May 17 to May 28, 2022, in both English and French.
