\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

S\u00e9bastien Lifshitz\u2019s career is unique in the panorama of both authorial cinema and queer culture.<\/p>\n

From the exploration of instincts and search for pleasure in Les corps ouverts<\/strong>, to the romantic dimension of teenage coming out in Presque rien<\/strong>; from the strong, independent portrayal of a transsexual woman in Wild Side<\/strong>, to the reelaboration of the traditional themes of French cinema in Plein sud<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From the precious, sensitive portraits of Les invisibles<\/strong>, to political memory becoming a way to exorcise death in Les vies de Th\u00e9r\u00e8se<\/strong>, to the overwhelming yet delicate chronicle of gender dysphoria in Petite fille<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lifshitz shows the same equal effective craftmanship and skill whether he deals with fiction, television language, or the spontaneity of documentary, seamlessly switching from short to medium-length to feature films.<\/p>\n

His career as a director and a screenwriter was met with enthusiastic critical reception and rewarded with several international accolades in Cannes, Berlin and Locarno, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

Lifshitz managed to narrate the LGBTQ universe through the personal gaze of a filmmaker who, avoiding the traps of exploitation and never forgetting the political dimension of his stories, sublimely depicts vivid portraits whose authenticity, moral gaze and modesty never cease to amaze; his works transcend their own format, becoming \u201cmuch more than mere works of fiction\u201d and \u201cmuch more than just documentaries\u201d.<\/p>\n

For these reasons we are proud to present S\u00e9bastien Lifshitz<\/strong> with the Queer Lion Award for Career Achievement.<\/p>\n
