Donate

Supporting "Sicilia Queer filmfest" with your donation is the best way to contribute concretely to the existence of a lively alternative cultural space, allowing the screening of author's shorts and features sacrificed by the official mainstream distribution, and the organization of exhibitions and cultural events which have no place in museums and academies: thus enforcing the debate on glbt and civil rights neglected by the official policy. Be Queer! Support "Sicilia Queer filmfest" !
