Chéries-Chéris — International LGBTQIA+ Film Festival Paris 2026
About This Event
Chéries-Chéris, Paris’s main LGBTQ+ film festival, runs every November. In 2026, you can catch it November 14-24.
It plays at three MK2 arthouse cinemas: MK2 Beaubourg, MK2 Bibliothèque, and MK2 Quai de Seine. These aren't just any cinemas; they’re known for good programming and comfortable seats, which makes watching films here better than at a lot of festivals.
The festival shows international features, shorts, documentaries, and old films you probably won't see anywhere else. Directors and actors often show up, there are discussions after screenings, and an awards ceremony closes things out on the last night.
The name Chéries-Chéris comes from the French words for "beloved" (feminine and masculine). That's a good hint: the festival really tries to show the whole range of LGBTQ+ experiences, not just one part of it. It’s also considered a serious film event in Paris, not just a niche festival.
