About the festival

Some Prefer Cake is the italian lesbian film festival, created by the lesbian activist Luki Massa, which has been taking place every year in September in Bologna, northern Italy, since 2006. The festival offers an international programming of feature films and short films, of a documentary, narrative and experimental genre, focused on lesbian and feminist stories, themes or looks. It is based on a political vision of cinema and art in general, as expressive and narrative tools capable of supporting visibility, self-determination, empowerment, creativity, connection and community creation of women and lesbians. In addition to film programming, Some Prefer Cake offers performances and readings, meetings with directors, screenwriters and other protagonists of film production, debates, book presentations, exhibitions, DJ sets and parties. The festival awards an audience award and a jury prize for the narrative feature film, documentary feature and short films sections. The Festival is produced by Associazione Luki Massa, a non-profit arts organization dedicated to the exhibition, distribution and promotion of Lesbian media arts.

Terms and rules

_ ONLY short films that talk about Lesbianism - intended as sexual orientation, gender position and political practice - are accepted. The film should not have the story of a lesbian relationship as its main focus, but it should tell stories about lesbian women or lesbian-feminist themes such as sisterhood, solidarity between women, the memory and narration of past and present lesbian lives and communities, the fight against gender binarism, the subversion of gender stereotypes, the struggle and alternatives to the patriarchal and capitalist system. SPC means lesbian and feminist practice as an intersectional practice: we also want to tell stories of non-white, non-able and non-cisgender lesbians.

_Short films must have a duration of no more than 35 minutes.

_All genres of fiction, experimental and documentary films are welcome.

_The registration fee allows us to make a minimum of pre-selection, otherwise we would be invaded by thousands of films that are not inherent to the theme. We regret having to apply this policy but, at the moment, this is the way we found.

_All films will screen with subtitles for accessibility (even those originally in English). Please ensure you submit a captioned version of your film or can create one if your film is selected.

_Please only complete this form if you have the authority or permission to submit this film, and if you have the intention to have your film screened at our festival if it is selected.
