Cineffable

Cineffable is a French organization whose purpose is to promote lesbian cinema, especially through the International Lesbian and Feminist Film Festival in Paris: When lesbians make movies.

The association was born in 1989 out of the lack of sufficient spaces reserved for female homosexuality in the International Women's Film Festival of Créteil. Cineffable's goal is to organize a lesbian film festival for lesbians.[1]
