The pursuit of one\u2019s own identity is always a revolutionary act! It is so for the main character when donning women\u2019s clothing while maintaining his bourgeois beliefs; it is so for his wife, through her emancipation and pacifistic ideals; and it is so for all the other characters, each of them in their own personal way, in a queer movie that manages to mix tradition and transgression in a very elegant way<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For these reasons, the Queer Lion jury, chaired by Alessandro Zan<\/strong>, and composed by Daniel N. Casagrande<\/strong>, creator of the award, and Marco Busato<\/strong>, general delegate of the cultural association CinemArte, bestows the 2014 Queer Lion Award for “Best Film with Homosexual Issues and Queer Culture” to Les nuits d’\u00e9t\u00e9<\/strong><\/em>, directed by Mario Fanfani, presentented in the 11th Giornate degli Autori\/Venice Days<\/em> sidebar.<\/p>\n

The jury of the Queer Lion would like to express appreciation for the prsence of a very good number of movies with LGBT contents, within the 71st International Venice Film Festival.
