The 36th edition of the Milano Mix Festival of Gay and Lesbian Cinema and Queer Culture will take place from 16 to 19 June under the banner of the new claim "Back to Love!" and in the already tried and tested hybrid formula, online on the Nexo+ platform and in person, with 50 competing titles, 36 Italian premieres of the best international LGBTQ+ cinema, numerous meetings, guests and special events.

The MiX Festival, one of the most relevant film festivals dedicated to LGBTQ+ cinema at a European level, has already undertaken an intersectional path for a few years now - as the three directors Paolo Armelli, Andrea Ferrari and Debora Guma explain - "to contribute to this kind of opportunity, in tune with what B. Ruby Rich summarised in the title of her latest interesting article 'After New Queer Cinema: Intersectionality vs. Fascism' (read here). Under the sign of this intersectionality, which maintains a broad view of the world's problems, is the More Love Award of the 36th edition, this year presented to Mina Welby, co-president of the Luca Coscioni Association, which defends freedom of choice on the 'end of life'.”
