The Barcelona Queer [Film Festival](https://barna.news/barcelona-s-l-alternativa-film-festival/) will hold its third edition from Sunday 22nd to Sunday 29th November, screening 10 feature films, 19 short films and hosting art, literature and performance events across the city, as reported by [betevé](https://beteve.cat/cultura/barcelona-queer-film-festival-cine/?ref=barna.news).

Screenings take place at Cinema Maldà, Pati Llimona, Tinta Roja theatre and queer bars including Ocaña, Candy Darling and Santa María. The festival includes four competition categories: feature fiction, feature documentary, short film and music video.

## Film Highlights and Special Screenings

Candy Darling hosts the festival presentation on Tuesday 24th November with the documentary *Gorda y Divina*, about drag artist Estrella Xtravaganza. On Wednesday 25th, coinciding with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (25-N), Pati Llimona will screen *The Returning Tide* with free admission.

From 27th to 29th, Cinema Maldà presents international premieres including *Ballata femmenella*, exploring Naples’ femmenelle community, and *Siempre vivas* by Mar López Zapata. The festival revives Jero de los Santos’ 2000 sci-fi satire *Invasión travesti*, a pioneering work of Spanish queer counterculture.

## Art, Literature and Closing Event

The festival extends beyond film with performances, exhibitions and a queer market. At Tinta Roja theatre, *Angel, Agonised* by Saint Torrente and Enrique Gimeno blends Spanish folklore with fetish aesthetics.

Ocaña hosts the Queer Market with 36 artists, DJs, a fashion show, book sales and tarot readings. The festival closes on Sunday 29th with Pedro Almodóvar’s *La ley del deseo*, marking 40 years since its premiere in February 1987.
