What’s Your Flavor? is relaunching its annual call for films for LGBTQIA+ filmmakers whose films fit within the spectrum of experimental or alternative cinema and video art.
What’s Your Flavor? is part of Collectif Jeune Cinéma, a cooperative of experimental filmmakers which organizes monthly screenings and the annual Festival des Cinémas Différents et Expérimentaux de Paris. The selected films will be screened in Paris in June 2026 and will be added to our distribution catalogue.
It is through this call that we find the films and filmmakers that we distribute. From this selection, we wish to highlight queer experimental cinema and support contemporary creation by organizing year-round screenings. We are committed to bringing LGBTQIA+ filmmakers greater visibility to all audiences, and the recognition their work deserves. Thanks to the CJC website, we are able to put our catalog and the archives of our screenings online in order to build a database of LGBTQIA+ directors and their filmography.
Rules
To submit your film, here are some useful informations:
- Your film was produced between 2022 and 2026
- Your film can be of any length (short, medium or feature length)
- You are a director who identifies as LGBTQIA+
- Your film may or may not address topics related to sexualities and gender. Fiction or documentary, your film experiments with cinematographic language and/or film and audiovisual techniques (including animation).
- If your film is selected, you agree to join the What’s Your Flavor distribution catalog (included in the distribution of the Collectif Jeune Cinéma).
- Every selected filmmaker, after signing a contract, becomes a member of the distribution cooperative Collectif Jeune Cinéma, and receives, for each rental of his/her film, royalties (the distribution is 70% for the filmmaker, 30% for the structure).
