In this sense of the word, we present CINEMA BURLESQUE, to see the burlesque in everyday life. Films chosen in the festival, allow us to indulge in the burlesque side of our lives, that which we often hideaway or run away from. CINEMA BURLESQUE invites you to see love, victory, progress, struggle in its most exaggerated form, to view our vices in all its stupidity, and to indulge in the human psyche in all its hues. At invitation to laugh a little, at ourselves. The film festival is curated as a two hour showreel of different genres of film – silent, stop-motion, fiction, documentary, anime and GIFs in search of new ideas around movement, desire, fantasy and the future.
